Gibt es einen Zwang zum Gendern?

The topic of gender-inclusive language is sparking heated debates. In our first interview with two experts, we clarify misunderstandings and ask: Is there any obligation to use gender-inclusive language – or is this just an ideological smokescreen? If you're wondering whether language truly changes our society or is merely being politically instrumentalized, you shouldn't miss this episode. Here you'll gain concrete insights into the linguistic and political background: What does the generic masculine really mean, and why is the discussion surrounding it so emotionally charged? We don't mince words when it comes to the risk that public broadcasters risk their credibility through ideologically driven language regulations. It's about freedom of language, social cohesion, and the struggle for discursive power. Dr. Dagmar Lorenz, a literary scholar, and Fabian Payer, a German studies scholar and musician, bring clear perspectives to this emotionally charged exchange. Learn why scientific studies are often misunderstood, what political interests lie behind the movement, and how to restore peace amidst linguistic diversity. Not just for language enthusiasts.
