I agree that it is a vitally important topic. Thanks for this post. I hadn’t thought about “emasculate” in this way but I’m glad for the new perspective.

I’ve written about language in some other posts and I think it should be an important subject in feminism. I also took a look at your blog and was impressed. Good luck to the Mankini Revolution!

I totally agree. I’m a strong, driven woman, and at my best and most confident when I’m in the role of leader. There are some people more inclined towards leadership than others regardless of sex. When I hear emasculate, it seems to be a way to intimidate people from taking away male power or to say that men are the only natural leaders. Taking power away from women can shake us and effect our self esteem to the same extent.
