No text, but a visual code

[Antonio García Jiménez]

In relation to my previous post about the planets holding stars, I think it is pertinent to recall the question of gender again. Why do we see hundreds of women in the VM?

For me it has a clear explanation: they represent the fixed stars. And for any speaker of a language derived from Latin it is easier to see this than for a speaker whose mother tongue is English because this language lacks grammatical gender.

Here in Spain I once entered a restaurant that distinguished the men's and women's toilets with a Sun and Moon painted on the door. A speaker of a Latin language would have no problem, but an English speaker would be puzzled not knowing what his/her toilet is.

Although it seems like a minor problem, it is not considering that this forum is developed in English and almost all of the VM's research has been done in this language.
