The word ‘queen’ is distantly related to the first part of ‘gynaecology’ and the second part of ‘misogyny’.

It’s also related to Norwegian ‘kone’ (wife) and ‘kvinne’ (woman), but they’re not full cognates.

While ‘queen’ comes from Proto-Germanic *kwēniz (wife), ‘kone’ and ‘kvinne’ stem from *kwenōn (woman). In English, this became the disparaging – and now archaic – word ‘quean’ (slʋt).

This Mother’s Day, let’s remember: Woman didn’t come from man’s rib. He came from *her* womb.

One of patriarchy’s biggest lies is naming the father as the life-giver.
