A new one on me - if we want to call ourselves women we have to provide a definition of the term.....

[rabbitwoman]

Scratching my head over this one, on twitter this evening.....

@Helen8220

Obviously roughly half the population have xx chromosomes and are born with a uterus, the question is whether the term ‘woman’ applies to all and only those people, or whether the way people actually use it in practice, and the function it plays in our language, is broader.

I think it could be seen that way.

The answer, however, is 'no'. It only seems like a 'yes' if you've confused the concept of feminine with the fact of 'woman' or if you've confused the expectations overlayed on 'women' as being essential to the actual definition.

I answered; "your mum" the other day.

I spent too much time on twitter the last few days and feel polluted.

Honestly I feel sorry for the mothers of these dickheads. Imagine going through pregnancy and birth and all the shit that brings with it for your child to publicly deny your humanity like that? I'm sure it makes all those stitches worth it.
