Excellent work!

surely "of or denoting the sex that can..." doesn't mean that it has to be working in all aspects for it still to be true. A woman who cannot bear offspring is still of the sex that can, sharing many of the other biological characteristics, working or not. A man can never do that.

Women are defined by this ability, but not limited to it. Women don't need to be seen solely as breeders or incubators, but that doesn't change the fact that men cannot do it, and it is what distinguishes women from men. It doesn't mean that there is not much more to people - women or men - than their role in reproduction.

Loving it, absolutely brilliant. Well done adult human females Star

A heartfelt THANK YOU.

When all the idiots are parroting TWAW it feels, no it is, like I'm being abused again by the cross dressing, fetish addled man I'm divorcing. He wanted me to comply with his sexy shite, he and his other AGP pals have got half of Twitter dancing to his tune, but not amazing women like you lovely lot.

THANK YOU TO POSIE AND THE TEAM.

You are a life raft in a shit sea of crazy.

By that definition the only thing that that truly makes a person female is the production of eggs NOT the non production of sperm.

There’s no distinction made between the two.

LemonJello · 12/10/2018 22:12

of the sex which can bear offspring. If you couldn’t, you would go to a doctor to find out why not as there would be some sort of problem.

A man would not go to the doctor because he couldn’t get pregnant.

HTH.

And don’t think you can possibly rain on this wonderful, wonderful parade! 😂

Totally fantastic. Biology / facts / science and women rule!

“of or denoting the sex that can bear offspring or produce eggs, distinguished biologically by the production of gametes (ova) which can be fertilised by Male gametes”

But 100% of females don't produce sperm, I would proffer.

So the dictionary definition of woman is “adult human female”, which is what is being used here.

The dictionary definition of female is “of or denoting the sex that can bear offspring or produce eggs, distinguished biologically by the production of gametes (ova) which can be fertilised by Male gametes”.

So, what if you have any number of medical conditions which prohibits you from producing eggs, are you therefore not a female and therefore not a woman?

You want to fly this flag of womanhood, but actually it’s meaningless as it relies, definitively, upon only the person’s ability to get knocked up.

So this is how you want women to be defined, only by their ability to reproduce? Doesn’t that fly in the face of what feminism actually is? The stepping back of being seen solely as breeders, incubators?

There are, important, points to be made within the self id debate, as I’ve said before using this as the flag to which you represent your ‘cause’ is at best disappointing.

Brilliant! Be interesting to see if any news outlets cover this.

Fuck my girl crush numbers just keep increasing this week! Hope I paid for a pixel of that and will donate again next week. And to all of us doing our 'little bits', it's working. I say this as someone who only got their arse in gear two weeks ago. I've been reaching out, gently talking and the ripple effects are astonishing. The feedback I'm getting is great. That will be happening over and over for everyone who is speaking out.
