New spelling: _genr=?UTF-8?Q?=C3=A9=5F_?=or _genre'_

[W Brewer]

WB:  Apparently a Francophone academic buzzword in 2011.
<http://kiosquemedias.wordpress.com/2011/09/13/%C2%AB-genre-%C2%BB/> E.g.
(where e' is [e + accent aigu]):  < Aux garc,ons le fusil, aux fillettes la
poupe'e: une analyse du discours **genre'** dans la litte'rature
patriotique pour enfants (1914-1918) », Marie-Miche`le Doucet du
de'partement d'histoire de l'UdM.> Roughly translated:  <"For boys the
rifle, for girls the doll: an analysis of **gendered** discourse in
patriotic literature for children (1914-1918)", Marie-Miche`le Doucet,
History Department Montreal U.>
The etiology would seem to be a French PPPization of genre (meaning English
gender + -ed). PPPization  being past-perfect-participial-ization.
Note use of accent aigu for Beyonce' (Wikip) <Beyonce' describes herself as
a <modern-day feminist>, and her songs are often characterized by themes of
love, relationships, and monogamy, as well as female sexuality and
empowerment.>
Not just one of those old-timey feminists, but one who knows the cachet of
a little squiggle.
