What is view of gender in France?

Basically just like everywhere else. There are a lot of working mothers but many men do not feel that women are equal in business.

Salut,\n\n Hope you find this interesting:\n\n"In Louisiana when we jouer à la pelote, it is typically a game of baseball, football or soccer that we are referring to.  Careful, though, because for our French-speaking Canadian neighbors, la pelote refers to female genitalia.\n\n\nCajuns try not to be shocked if newly arrived Canadians remark upon all the grosses bibittes in South Louisiana.  They mean the roaches and other insects.  They're not being lewd; they simply haven't yet learned that bibitte in Louisiana French refers to male genitalia."

we live in a sexist country, and most people think its towards men, but women get more special treatments

I do not think the question of better applies.  Consider the matter this way: The human mind in general has been deemed as equivalent organ between the sexes; with respect to its general psychological functions.  However, when incorporating real-world data one can see that maps over-the-span-of-human-time have basically been of the males' world.  Like hunters during the hunting and gathering times, travelers to places afar, explorers charting new lands, and the like, therefore, safe to say males as a group still do yet read more maps than do females.  I've no doubt there exists a female such as she can equally well read and interpret a specific map as can the best male.

Faut pas généraliser ! C'est vrai quand-même que beaucoup d'Américains ont une opinion sur tout sans bouger de leur sofa..FoX TV is GOD !\n\nIt's a love- hate relationship. When I read above - forgot the name , fitzstg- immediately the book "60 million Frenchmen can't be wrong" came to my mind...and it was linked as a source !\n\nBoundaries..what is personal and what is not..we have different notions. People do not understand this concept.\nI would never ever say "I hate such and such nationality" myself. I might dislike a mentality but the person comes first.\n\nIn my view, Americans tend - ON THE WHOLE - to view things as black and white/wrong- right. No shades of grey, no in-between. If you look up answers here, most tend to be : no way or yes....not "depends on the situation..etc".\n\nEuropeans view life and human beings as much more complex than than. Germany and France were enemies for such a long time.....but now they certainly are NOT.\n\nI think some Americans should see what life is all about in Europe. Coming from Northern France, we all look and have respect towards each other. Germans and French will put flowers on cemetaries and we all respect each other. The past is the past. I have yet to view or hear about confrontations between the French and German folks in "sensitive" areas.\n\nI hate those stereotypes too.....especially those which are offending and totally wrong and made from ignorant people on top of that.\n\nForget the stupid people. I have met enough absolutely brilliant, charming, open-minded anglo-saxon people !\n\nThere are always things to learn from another culture too !\n\nYou know..at the end I still don't know !! What I have noticed is that the media in North America is still very much conservative. OK I'm a girl (well..no more) but when I pick up magazines for women from the US.......so boring..the French ones: at least stg interesting !!\n\nBy the way : British people are not stuck up at all !!\n\nNope..I like Americans anyway :-). They have a zest for life, they can be brilliant..Pity too many are "child-like" and not very world-wise and kind of stuck in the past as well ?? Don't forget : so many just do not travel at all and just watch stupid propanganda TV.\n\nBut are the French better ?? On some things yes..but not all ! They are the same : too many think - old generations anyway - that they are better than the rest of the world..NOT ! and say the same things "I hate Americans, Brits etc" without knowing any actually !\n\nBon cela va être à mon tour de me faire crucifier. Il y a plein de cons partout : en France, en Amérique, partout..\n\nPS.. and I do not know what is so good about Frenchmen..either !! Just another stereotype among others. Frenchmen are no better than any other nationalities at all :-))) EH EH !

The phrase act of man connotes sexism. It is not gender sensitive.\n\nThe human act is gender sensitive phrase. It is acceptable to gender sensitive persons

Je dirait a cause de l'education et de leur origine historique ou les hommes veulent s'affirmer d'une maniere viril ce qui implique des activités dite viril ou voire meme violente.\n\nPour ma part je suis au Quebec et le foot est plutot consideré comme un sport de fille, j'y joue pour le plaisir avec des hommes et des femmes je trouve ca vraiment genial, surtout que les femmes/filles du groupe sont vraiment doué, et plus technique car au lieu de chercher le contact physique pour passer (gentil evidement entre nous) elle joue d'une maniere plus collective et plus rusé.\n\nEt bref: dit toujours merci a la personne qui te critique car au fond d'elle meme, elle te jalouse :)

Neither.  English is pretty much gender-neutral.

The English language doesn't generally add an 'e' for gender, what you are experiencing is a leftover from the French language.  There is a lot of French mixed into the English language.\n\nIn French, nouns have a gender and adjectives have to agree with the gender of the noun they are modifying.  There are many variations but normally this is done by adding an 'e'.\n\nIn English, 'blond' or 'blonde' are both acceptable for either men or women as we don't normally distinguish between gender for nouns and adjectives.  Since we kbow that French people use 'blonde' for female situations then we sometimes do the same but it doesn't really matter.\n\nEnglish is not a pure language and we absorb many words from other languages so there might be other examples out there but they are not really pure English.  Its very difficult to be scientific about any language but especially English.

Neither (yet, oddly, both).\n\nIn response to the argument that the Bible refers to God as "Him" and therefore God is Male -- In the French language, words describing objects are preceded by "le" or "la" which gives them value as being masculine or feminine terms -- that doesn't mean the objects are female or male.  In most languages, ships and nations (just two examples) are referred to as "She" and "her" -- that doesn't mean they are female.  In the past, in the US, to simplify statements, if the gender was not known or could be either, "he" was used.  (Example:  "To return an item, he must have his receipt.")  Our (US) Constitution uses the term "he", but in no way is meant to imply that it only refers to men.  And, man, as a species, includes women.\n\nGod (as great as He is) and the Lord (as great as He is) would not be so petty (I believe) as to bicker about the terms, He or She, to describe Them.  If the Lord was both male and female through the ages, the use of "He" to describe His position simplifies writing.  People (I believe) are equal in His eyes regardless of gender.  \n\nBesides, in Scriptures, in naming woman, we really don't know that "woman" doesn't mean "equal to the first one, but different-looking". \n\nPeace.

Personally, I think it's a very strange statement.  Both sexes have had enormous impact on humanity down through history.  We can learn much from both men and women.
