What is a woman? Asking for some cyclists.

Over on Singletrack World, a site for middle-aged men who used to cycle, someone has asked ‘What is a woman?’

it’s mostly humorous replies so far, but over on that site many threads end up with flounces, deletions, and bans, no matter how innocuous the subject. There are a couple of TWAW NO DEBATE types over there, so there are bound to be ‘anyone who identifies as such’ answers.

So, what should I tell them?

Aaah... I've been looking elsewhere and rarely find anything useful.

My pleasure!

I met the editor and some of the staff at an event last year. The editor is a woman and so were some of the others. They were lovely

Lovely women can still be clueless and wrong on this.

Where do you get the GIFs and memes from? I can never find any, apart from one I accidentally posted ages ago.

Learn a wee bit about biology. Not all Chickens can lay eggs. Only Female Chickens called Hens can.

How daft are you not to know what female means?

Oh no! I'm even more of an ignoramus than Surkier.

Oh and just incase you're still not sure - females don't produce sperm nor can females fertilise eggs.

Woman = egg producing, Human.
Hen = egg producing, Chicken

Female - egg producer

That's chickens, so Gotcha! Neurrr!

Anyway, a woman is any man who says she is. And some of those funny old fashioned ones. I think.

Too many pics maybe. Please release Chompsky, mods!

CyclingSam · 08/02/2024 17:03

First, apologies to the OP for going down (you'll all have seen this coming) this rabbit hole. He's so hard to resist.

To answer your question @Boiledbeetle, Chompsky is a voracious eater of anything we put in front of him, except dill, which he's unaccountably sniffy about. (Not that Dil.)

@Banoffeepie21, this is to doubly confirm that I'm not RandySavage. And now I'm inexplicably hungry for sweets.

Glad to see another cyclist here. As for STW, been there, blogged that: https://www.notanothercyclingforum.net/index.php?topic=8115.0

Thank you. That’s the article by Hannah Dobson I was thinking about.

@HalebiHabibti it was a bit flippant! But is the gist of what we've been told over the years...

PotatoPrimo · 08/02/2024 07:58

@oOmoonhaOo thats explains A LOT! I’ve been on these boards long enough to see that one trans person in an organisation is all it takes for the rest of the organisation take leave of their senses. To repeat, it’s such a shame because STW and Hannah the editor, have done so much to promote women in the past.

Outthedoor24 · 08/02/2024 07:29

Woman- adult human female

Adult - physically mature
Human - homo-sapian
Female - egg producer

oOmoonhaOo · 08/02/2024 07:26

There’s a trans woman on the pmba/hope enduro team. I wonder if the topic is too close to home?

oOmoonhaOo · 08/02/2024 07:25

PotatoPrimo · 08/02/2024 07:21

Yes the editor is a woman. She thinks TWAW and they should have unfettered access to womens sport. Like I said before, idiots.
They used to be fabulous for championing womens MTBing and equity. It’s such a shame to see.

She did seem a bit woke tbh.

They’re going to more and more mtb womens events to promote the mag to women. Working with Hope Women.

popebishop · 07/02/2024 17:33

The thing that all women have in common is a feeling. All children know what that feeling is so we must change their bodies, but adults find it so confusing they can't even begin to put it into words. It's not personality, behaviour, likes or skills, it's that thing, you know.

In fact it's so hard to say what it is, that essentially there's no difference between men and women, it's just that feeling, you know.

Anyway let's campaign to draft laws based on that thanks

I have screenshot your post for future use because that is how much I agree with it! Perfectly put.
