Here some of the terms that describe myself, the first one is “People of Color” that is described as any person who is not considered white and I am not a white person, I am from Haiti where my mother and my father are Africa slaves’ descent. The second one is “Third World” like I said before I am from Republic of Haiti that is one of the s the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, so it is definitely as a third world according to Wikipedia because we are economically poor, and non-industrialized with a Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita of $756 in 2019 and a Human Development Index ranking of 169 out of 189 countries in 2019.
Invisibility of women is considered of the feminist philosophy of language that was critical by the feminist movement and need to be change in philosophy of language. Philosophy of language in earliest times was considered as an issue to the feminist movement and it usually in a way considered to be unfair because of the male stereotypes, inadequately arranged to advance feminist purposes. Even though, the philosophy of language wasn’t unsuitable for the movement women didn’t try to erase it otherwise they did a revision on it, removed the male stereotypes and transformed into something that can be profitable at the feminist goals.
According to Geek Feminism wiki Invisibility of women is when people occasionally hypothesize a category and said there’s any woman even if they are a few or only one there. Feminist have also disagreed that the terms such as ‘he’ and ‘man’ devote to building women invisible, to bring woman down and interfere scrutiny from their presence. It is really important for woman to clash invisibility of women in many domains starting in the language one because it has a big mental impact in people.
One of the concrete example Invisibility of women that I have is from my personal experience that I had in quarantine in the past month and half. Because of the pandemic I stop going to work and to physical school, and I was super boring. As an online video gamer, I decide to buy and download Dying Light that is first-person action survival game set in a post-apocalyptic open world overrun by flesh-hungry zombies. The game was scary, crazy and super hard to play even if you choose easy mode the guests were still difficult to pass. The game also does feature co-op multiplayer, my player name was lisablamfort who was a girl name. I believe I was the only girl in my game section or the only person with a girl name. in the beginning a lot of male players always joined my tutorial and passed my guests for me, sometimes 3 came to team up with me, and when we are moving or fighting in an area usually my co-op or co-player always say let’s go guys but never said let’s go man and woman. Sometimes when I try to join other teams, they don’t accept me because I am girl they said. So, I decide to change my player name to gray and after that I got the same respect as a man the online game, I got accepted in many teams and other player don’t even help me for my guests anymore. I believe because I was the only girl, I was really visible, but I was constantly overshowed by my co-op male because they never said how are you Lisablamfort but hey dude or hey bro even though they know I am a girl.
A lot of area from language to women’s right contribute to overshadow women, but the language is one the most important issues that the feminist movement is trying to reform and used in favor of women. Terms like ‘he’ and ‘man’ is related to male than female and is contributing to the invisibility of women
