"What is a woman?"

My personal favorite response to that question is “a person who covers their drink when you enter the room”

I like "Well, I'm a straight male, so anything that turns me on is a woman, ma'am."

Seems like: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sealioning

They're not honestly curiously asking anything.

The ftm equivalent is "What is a man?" And the proper response is "A miserable little pile of secrets".

Alternative responses:

"Yeah, it makes sense that you wouldn't know."
"A human. Did you seriously not know that?"
"Are you coming on to me?"

Is the answer not “A miserable little pile of secrets”?

Personally I think the "woke" definition of a woman (if there even is one) is much more straightforward than the alternative. This idea that the left "can't define a woman" is absurd projection - the very people who ask this question are the ones who can't define it without having to make 100s of exceptions.

What are three douchebags doing at the DNC? I’ve seen pics/vids of this idiot & the weirdo beard one w the costume Matt Walsh & then the undercover boss my pillow guy, also in costume. Ragebait, I assume?

Language is an imperfect medium with inherent limitations, intended to convey thoughts from the mind of one person to another. Thus, context is critical. The tragedy of humans not being telepathic.

A large portion of this argument is between two factions trying to have a complex discussion regarding at least four different things using only two words; male and female. The discussion however expands to biology, stereotypes, gender norms, rights, etc.

To me, everyone arguing is a moron for trying to have a discussion without first agreeing on axioms and vocabulary. Male and female are not enough words for a discussion involving this many variables.

It's like, hey, please reconcile general relativity, quantum mechanics, and metaphysics using only X and Y. It just screams absurdity.

It isn't for me to define, and there are more important things in life to focus on.

A "woman" is a label. It's a social construct.

As such, while you and I may have some idea of what we think a woman is, it's not really something that can be given a concrete definition the way these people seem to think it needs.

The meta of gender is simply the way we see eachother and not something that can be measured. It's felt.

It's a lot like trying to build a concrete definition for intelligence. What is intelligence? How can it be measured? IQ tests are one way, but they're pretty much universally regarded as inaccurate at best.

Whatever intelligence is, these rage baiters don't have it.

Here is the answer to that question:

Until recently, a woman was defined as someone who was born a biological female.

Now, as definitions change, a woman is defined as a person who identifies with the role of the previous definition of woman.

Language is descriptive, not prescriptive.

jordan petersons response, is literally perfect. "marry one and find out"

Unfortunately most of his braincells seem to no longer exist, but he has short second winds from time to time i suppose.

"I'll take someone who wouldn't talk to you if they were trapped in an elevator with you for $500 Alex."

"Someone you've never had consensual sex with."

In my experience it's so they can listen to exactly nothing you say in response and then say "oh you've totally been brainwashed" before refuting points I never even came close to making.
