Linguist Olga Vasylyeva criticizes the story of the '1+1' TV channel about feminatives. She considers the conclusions of linguist Oleksandr Avramenko unprofessional and based on outdated concepts about the use of some words. Vasylyeva notes that nouns referring to all females, including female animals, are feminine. She also criticizes Avramenko for citing the word 'advisress' as an example that does not pertain to positions, professions, or types of activity. Vasylyeva also makes remarks about errors in the claims regarding feminatives and Professor Pavlo Hrytsenko. She emphasizes the importance of processing dictionaries and provides examples from SUL-11, where feminatives have their definitions. One such example is the word 'plasterer'. Olga Vasylyeva and the 'Glavkom' website address language issues and answer readers' questions weekly.
