Get it?

Why do so many people not get it - including the Secretary of the Health Department, Professor Brendan Murphy who, when asked by Senator Alex Antic to define "woman" spluttered that it was a "very contested space". Rather than upsetting adult male human beings claiming to be women, this highly paid public servant made a fool of himself.

Even a female judicial nominee of President Biden's cannot describe herself because she is 'not a biologist'.

Females outnumber woman thousandfold just like males outnumber men. Or, just like educated people outnumber intelligent & competent people.
Or, just like selfish & stupid people outnumber the good ones !

If we look at the origin and historical development
of words and their meanings the word "woman" in the
English language is usually linked with that of a
man.

For example - male - fe-male.
man - woman.

"mankind" is still associated as a he.

And even in the Bible - Eve was taken out of a man's side.

If we break down the word - WOMAN - it would be great
if it stood for -

WOMAN - Wonderful, Outstanding, Marvellous, Adorable, and Nice!

"mankind" is still associated as a he.
Foxy,
Doesn't the term kind offset this frivolous argument ?

Dear Ttbn,

Refusing to answer a question does not amount to not knowing the answer.
What happened to our right for silence?
It is indeed best to remain quiet when speaking is likely to hurt others.
Better to be seen as a fool than actually being one.

Dear Foxy,

Interesting: In Sanskrit, the word for "human" is NARA and a "monkey" is VANARA, in effect asking in confusion: "Is this a human?"

We are all conceived as female.
At about six weeks?, approximately half of the foetuses switch to being male.
This 'switching' is not always as complete and straightforward as we might expect.
There is partial switching, which results in humans with mixed characteristics.
Nether truly male nor truly female.
Hence the multitude of 'in between' genders we see in the community.
There is nothing wrong with this.
It is natural.
Indeed, it is probably nature's way of limiting population growth.
These 'different' genders are less likely to procreate?

But the 'unfettered' female still predominates.
And thankfully so.
She will almost certainly procreate.
She will be the hub of her family.
Someone to be admired and enabled?
With the ability to contribute in so many ways.
She will be able to be both a home maker, and work outside the family if she chooses to do so.
Her freedom to develop her personal agenda must be steadfastly recognised and protected.
A woman is physically desirable, eminently reliable, truly adorable, and altogether the best thing to happen to men. ^_^
I feel sorry for those who cannot see the value and wonder of a woman.
They are missing out on something so valuable!
Its absence will make theirs a lessened existence.
