Barbaria
I do not know if in the United States there is a saying that goes like this:
"Wolf in lamb skin"
If so, he explains this post well!
If you have not, let me know that I'll try another way.

The saying is: "A wolf in sheep's clothing"
Barbaria
Or this!
In posting, we have several "Wolves," (shit there are no female words in English), dressed in human skin, and a man serving as a sacrifice, (lamb) to them.
In Portuguese:
Lobo, (palavra masculina) = Wolf
Loba, (palavra feminina) = ????

Depends on the animal.

In French :
Loup is male and Louve is for female ...
But no, there is not in English , only female wolf ...

Most of English is 'gender-neutral'... Not the society, mind you, but the language!!!!I searched but can't find a specific word in English for a female wolf. As a member of the canine family, the term bitch can be used. The only other one is she-wolf, but that brings to mind - for me at least - a different image:

English definitely has a shortage of words for female animals. We're pretty much limited to hen for all birds, mare for all equines, cow for all bovines or bovine-like animals, doe for deer, sow for porcines, bitch for all canines and ewe for all ovines.Most of English is 'gender-neutral'...

I don't think it is sexist... just lazy. By the way, a bitch describes something else, but I can say noEnglish definitely has a shortage of words for female animals.

There are a few good ones out there: jill for rabbits, jenny for donkeys, and my favorite, vixen for foxes.
But, then there's the poor female goose who in English is called ....a goose. The male has a specific name: gander, but not the female.
There are far more unique name for males than for females. When it comes to animals; English isn't gender neutral...it's sexist!
