What makes me a woman?

I've just been asked that very question by some fucking half wit on my online dating site Angry

Anyone got a snappy reply – to save me wasting my effort on the idiot by typing more than I need to?

Ask him what he wants a woman to be, then say No Thanks.

The x chromosome inherited from my father 🤷🏻‍♀️

Being registered female at birth, and being older than 18.

Mydogisthebestest · 20/07/2020 14:48

Tbh that’s not even worth getting into. Just block.

Apileofballyhoo · 20/07/2020 14:49

The sperm from your father.

Herja · 20/07/2020 14:49

'Biology'.

Herja · 20/07/2020 14:50

Then block.

Being registered female at birth, and being older than 18.

That's what I went with. But pretty sue he'll have some riposte. Apparently he's driving so I get a short breather.

I'm curious to know how he responds with that.

Personally, I'd have gone with 'biology'. There's the opportunity for him to confuse 'registered' with 'assigned' there...

Collidascope · 20/07/2020 15:03

In what context did he ask? Was it in the context of TWAW or just a random question...?

NiceLegsShameAboutTheFace · 20/07/2020 15:08

Sure, I can block him. I'd just like to educate him first Grin

Perhaps it is his way of finding out if you are a "traditional" woman or one of those newfangled versions.

'A man just wolf-whistled me. Ask him because he was quite certain I was a woman.'

Mumsnut · 20/07/2020 15:16

Maybe he’s just trying to make sure you are an actual XX woman before he commits to a date ...

Jeeeez · 20/07/2020 15:24

Definition is adult female human. Female means produces eggs (vs male who produces sperm).
It's v simple!

NiceLegsShameAboutTheFace · 20/07/2020 15:28

Yes, it was in the TWAW context. I'm not sure that he believes TWAW and may have been saying it to fit in with what he perceived my view to be. Misjudged that one, didn't he? Hmm

LOL. It's a distinct possibility. I'm very, er 'androgynous' looking Shock

Cunt.

You have one.

He is one.

Grin
Pollyputthepizzaon · 21/07/2020 02:00

He’s maybe had a bad experience before of meeting up with someone who ended up having a penis!!

Maybe he’s just checking you’re definitely a woman!

This made me laugh Grin. There might be some truth in it, though. In which case, I think it is a fair question.

Not that simple. Any day now I will stop producing eggs. I will still be female though.

I would go with 'biology'

WeeBisom · 21/07/2020 02:09

The ironic thing is he must have some inking of what your sex is because he’s messaging you on a dating site. So he at least has some idea of what a woman is. I’d troll him and say you have no idea how you’re a woman... and come to think of it maybe you’re a man.

HermioneMakepeace · 21/07/2020 02:23

What makes me a woman? I would reply "my lady dick" and see what he says Grin.

Broomfondle · 21/07/2020 08:29

Millions of years and an unbroken line of mothers and daughters make you female.
There is a beautiful explanation of it here:

It's the sex organised to make ova.
NB - the reason males don't make eggs is their sex. The reason women don't make eggs is not the same reason men don't make eggs.
