The concept of “gender sensitivity” serves as one of the political currencies for the emerging Korean MZ generation of women to censor a variety of words and activities of public figures from all walks of life. However, the imported term “gender sensitivity” has not yet been consolidated in the Korean socio-cultural practices, thereby causing adverse chain reactions among users. Given language is a social contract reflecting the history of the source language, this paper raises a necessity to examine how such concepts as “feminism,” “gender sensitivity,” and “woman-hatred” came to serve as key currencies among Gen. MZ’s women and/or feminists. While citing most of Adrienne Rich’s feminist perspective and poems, this paper also provides a Japanese feminist, Ueno Chizuko’s perspective, while giving a voice to Korean youth feminism. Further, it illuminates a senior liberal Korean feminist’s perspective, providing a historical continuum of smart, stong, and self-reliant women and the unique Korean language that provided some space for women’s autonomy. Finally, it suggests a future direction of Korean youth feminism, taking an example of Rich’s feminist vision of a doorframe, asking for the MZ generation of women to adapt it to the lived reality of ordinary women and envision an inclusive and constructive future for the entire generations rather than to exclude and shut down the rest.

소개
국제언어인문학회는 '언어를 통한 인문학 연구'의 필요성에 동감하는 여러 전공분야 학자들의 뜻을 담고 있습니다. 언어에 초점을 맞추는 것은, 다양한 전공분야의 참여에서 생겨날 수 있는 '이질적 집합'의 상황을 극복하기 위한 장치입니다. 현재로서는 작은 불씨를 지핀 것에 불과합니다. 그러나 이렇게 일구어진 불꽃이 새로운 학풍의 바람결에 커다란 섬광으로 빛나게 될 날이 올 것을 우리는 확신합니다. 우리의 학회와 학술지는 인문학 불변의 가치와 시대적 사명을 인식하는 국내외의 학자들을 향해 활짝 개방되어 있습니다. 특정 전공의 범위를 넘어서서 철학, 문학, 언어학, 종교, 역사, 문화, 예술 등의 시각에서 언어의 본질을 토론할 기회가 될 것입니다.
