'Letter from the Earth' talks about the relationship between nature and the feminine

In Carta da Terra, published this week by Earth News, Lourival Sant'Anna talks about the relationship between nature and the feminine. He highlights that the word "nature" is feminine in the main Western languages ​​that have gender for common nouns and the very strong association between the idea of ​​mother and nature: mother-nature. 💚

On the other hand, he comments that the destruction of nature – the idea of ​​“dominating her” – is associated with virility, masculinity, and put into practice much more by men than by women.
