Sexism in Russian language

[Daniel Rancour-Laferriere]

Have a look at the literature on Russian _mat_ ('mother cursing').  Such 
language tends to victimize women, especially the interlocutor's 
mother.  In my monograph _The Slave Soul of Russia_  (NYU Press, 1995), 
you will find abundant linguistic and other material in the chapter 
titled "Is the Slave Soul of Russia a Gendered Object?"

Regards to the list,

Daniel Rancour-Laferriere
