I am looking for this paper, but can't find it online and no library in the Netherlands seems to have a physical copy. Does anybody here have a copy by any chance?

Ma publication dans "the Conversation" sur l'écriture inclusive (theconversation.com/lecriture-in...) m'a valu ma première qualification de "wokiste" ("immonde wokiste"). L'ironie, c'est que le mot "wokiste" est lui-même une forme d'écriture inclusive (forme neutre). "Wokard" serait plus adapté.

Dans cet article de "The Conversation", on explique comment certaines formes d'écriture inclusive permettent non seulement de mieux représenter les femmes, mais également de lutter contre les stéréotypes de genre - ce qui peut bénéficier aussi bien aux femmes qu'aux hommes.
L’écriture inclusive, une arme contre les stéréotypes de genre
L’écriture inclusive, une arme contre les stéréotypes de genre
Une étude montre que les formulations d’écriture inclusive rendant visibles à la fois le masculin et le féminin – comme « étudiants et étudiantes » – sont les plus efficaces pour réduire les stéréotypes de genre.

The way we use words says quite a lot about who we are. Look at the frequency of use of function words such as 'and', 'of' by French play writers Molière and Corneille: each author has it own particular way of using these words - a kind of lexical footprint.
