Abstract :

The term “gender” is a general term that originally denotes neutrality, but as a result of societal use and deterioration of the connotation, it has come to mean marginalization. This required a search for the first use of this term within the linguistic scope, preceded by a study of the social reality to identify the causes and objectives of degeneration. We searched for the most important reasons for the women’s gender revolution revolting against social reality and the reasons for accusing them of language being one of the most important reasons for the marginalization of women. The study touched on the most important linguistic changes that occurred in the books of the two Covenants, the reasons, and the ends. What has the revolution achieved for us against masculine terms, and what is the point of replacing them with neutral terms? In this research, we answered all these questions, investigated the linguistic changes, and proved that the goals are not what they seem.
