Nope, seeing men as the default and considering everyone else as a secondary option is already a discrimination of the latter. I know that "alle Schüler" is referring to everyone in class, but it is not gender neutral. It assumes male students if not specified otherwise.

It seems like you don't acknowledge the existence of patriarchal violence or power. A discussion is probably futile in this case because our value systems are fundamentally different.

Obviously partriarchies exist and they probably originated in the grammatical masculine as the default.

But I doubt that patriarchal power or even violence is a systemic issue in Germany today and I think addressing it via centrally trying to change the language is laughable.

Let's take Turkey for example: Turkish is gender neutral, there is no grammatical gender. How did that help equal rights?

OK, keep living in your fantasy...
