The so called feminist trend appeared in the area of linguistic studies in the seventies of the twentieth century in Anglo-Saxon countries. Its most important objectives are: analyzing the characteristics of the language used by women, the description of the symptoms of women discrimination in different language systems and in verbal communication and the struggle for gender equality in the broadsense of linguistic context. The interpretation of some studies and some assumptions are controversial as they ignore the system differences between given languages and they overlook some crucial historic, cultural and stylistic aspects of verbal communication. The paper presents a brief review of the condition of the research into feminist linguistics based on the comparative analysis of German and Polish languages.
