What is a woman?
Anyone with an IQ above room temperature can answer the question. Everyone, that is, except Democrats.
Last week President Trump treated the question as the no-brainer it is. When a reporter asked him to define a woman he responded, “A woman is someone that can have a baby under certain circumstances.” He went on, “A woman is a person who is much smarter than a man, I’ve always found,” amusing those in attendance.
If my wife is any indication, women are much smarter than men. That is except for Democrats, who find this question imponderable and treat it as though it’s one of the great mysteries of the universe.
In response to the same question posed by a Fox News reporter, Democrats’ brains froze due to the computing power required to answer.
Rep. Herb Conaway, D-NJ, said when asked, “It is a more complicated question than one might know.”
No, not really.
Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., a member of “The Squad,” was so confounded by the conundrum she responded to the interviewee by asking, “Do you get minimum wage at least?”
Ummm, what?
Some were so overwhelmed by the query their brain-mouth connection was severed. This from a group of people whose only consistent hallmarks are thoughtless remarks.
Those who did not or could not reply included Reps. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., John Mannion, D-N.Y., Eric Sorensen, D-Ill., Delia Ramirez, D-Ill., Don Beyer, D-Va., Jason Crow, D-Colo., Derek Tran, D-Calif., Bobby Scott, D-Va., George Whitesides, D-Calif., Eugene Vindman, D-Va., and Andrea Salinas, D-Ore.
Nancy Pelosi, D-Ca, pretended to be to busy, saying she didn’t “have time” to answer the question. Given the presumably tortured nature of her potential response and her age, it may very well be true she doesn’t have enough time to respond.
Given the quality of the responses by representatives Conaway, Talib, and Pelosi it seems discretion for Democrats is the better part of valor. It also proves the adage about it being better to be thought a fool rather than open one’s mouth and remove all doubt.
Included in the list of those whose mental wattage isn’t powerful enough to answer this question is Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Jackson-Brown.
You may recall that during her confirmation hearing, Sen. Marsha Blackburn asked the Supreme Court nominee to define the word “woman.”
Jackson’s response, “I can’t.”
“You can’t?” Blackburn pressed.
“Not in this context. I’m not a biologist,” Jackson said.
She is certainly no biologist, but her answer suggests she also shouldn’t be a Supreme Court Justice. Neither should she be hanging the signs on the bathroom doors at the local YWCA.
Merriam-Webster, as will come as no surprise, is not without a definition for the word woman. It states a woman is “an adult female person.” Should that definition be too vague, a female is defined as, “of, relating to, or being the sex that typically has the capacity to bear young or produce eggs.”
As laughable as the Democrats’ inability to answer the simplest of questions is, the reasons why they can’t or won’t are just as ludicrous.
They refuse to answer the question because, in their minds, any answer that does not validate gender fluidity will enrage their transgender masters. Their tongues tied by the tiniest sliver of voting blocks and their unwavering commitment to a perverse definition of tolerance.
To Democrats, tolerance is the unwavering agreement with those with whom you agree and a relentless hate of those with whom you don’t.
Tolerance is not refusing to admit the truth. It is not lying about this question or avoiding it entirely. Tolerance is accepting the definition of a woman in the same way they accept those whose idea of gender and sexuality is different from most Americans.
Woman is a word. Words have meanings. They must have meanings so that we can understand what we’re talking about. A man can’t by force of will or the surgeon’s scalpel become a woman any more than he can become a tree, or a car.
What we call ourselves, or even what we think we are, can’t be defined individually. That’s why we have words and their definitions.
Transgender people aren’t eliminated or canceled because there is an agreed upon definition to the word woman. They remain in a category all by themselves and I thought that was the entire point of self-gendering.
Democrats need an easier question. Maybe “Who’s buried in Grant’s Tomb,” or since it may be a long time before anyone from their party resides there, “What color is the White House?”
