Sophia is Latin...

The biblical “sophia” is a Greek word.

Thanks for the correction! You are so right that many people seduced by the feminist ideology do not understand about word gender in many languages, or treat it like a worldwide sexist trap to deny 'womyn'. I had always understood that the word 'gender' has classically been used when referring to language, as in your post, while 'sex' was used to differentiate between, well, the sexes. Is this understanding correct?

And then there is the anthropoi(gr) / homos(lat) translation argument. Speaking of which; 'herstory' to be a "female" response to 'history'?!? Keep your mouth shut and don't tell them where 'virtue' comes from...
