What is the definition of a "Woman"?
- Thread starter Dogknox20

There s a blurred line between man and woman. I know a couple of "very" female men, a woman who was a man, and an androgynous person who does not like to be identified as either.
That's just to my personal knowledge so yes know in a general sense but it us impossible to be precise.
I see a big problem with these question & answer
sessions, ie, there is insufficient time to consider
questions & answers. Sure, it's a measure of being
able to think & remember on one's feet. But is that
the best measure of a judge?

"Woman" & "man" might be best defined as a weighted
preponderance of traits. Good luck coming up with that
instantly on the spot while sitting in front of a bunch of
knuckle dragging Congresscritters.
In the shade...
That just leaves the definition of "female," doesn't it? What is your answer, oh wise judge?
I thought it was "taco or wiener".
Anyway, that only works most of the time.
Gotta also face the exceptions to the rule.

Question.. Do you think a Supreme Court Judge should know what a Woman is!?
And at the end of the day, that's what this is all about, isn't it? The GOP just wants to pretend there are no exceptions, since that keeps things tidier and easier to cope with.
It seems that some religions induce people to
see the world in very simple well defined ways.
Exceptions are merely the work of Satan.
Why did you bring this up, and start a discussion about it?
It turns out to be a rule violation on this forum. Who knew?

Evangelicalhumanist I am not being nominated for a Supreme Court Judge! Does it matter my definition!?
1. Female
2. Male
......................................................................................
Definition of female
(Entry 1 of 2)
1a(1): of, relating to, or being the sex that typically has the capacity to bear young or produce eggs
Definition of male
(Entry 1 of 2)
1a(1): of, relating to, or being the sex that typically has the capacity to produce relatively small, usually motile gametes which fertilize the eggs of a female

You must ask permission first.
Notice the word "typically" in both definitions?
This implies exceptions.
It also allows them a way to lash out against marginalized people who are seeking recognition in a nation devoted to liberty. People seeking recognition seem to be weaponized within their being against the very political party that is devoted to more tolerance, openness, and diversity. Limiting the liberties of marginalized people seems to me is a proxy war against the Democrats. It's one issue of a long list of tolerances that a progressive society is more comfortable allowing, like abortion, gay marriage, end of life solutions, healthcare, etc. And I find it ironic that Republicans are very interested in a narrow set of other types of liberty like gun access. The more Republicans push a black and white view of what is acceptable as a society the less they will be able to represent the full breadth of America.
Comparing various news outlets might provide the 'political' agenda behind the question.
Republicans have spent hours this week trying to portray Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson as an extremist on issues of race and an apologist for child sexual abusers. Late Tuesday, Senator Marsha Blackburn, Republican of Tennessee, added another social issue to the list of cultural grievances the G.O.P. is foisting upon her in her confirmation hearings: gender — specifically, what makes a woman a woman.

She is being interviewed right now.. This caught my attention...
I think for a "Judge on the Supreme Court" that does NOT know the difference between the two; Male Female we have a problem!
When a politician asks a mundane, rhetorical question like this they have an ulterior motive, and that motive is a trap. Smart people know not to enter the trap. These traps are about power and typically will be misrepresented. You don't seem to understand this nuance.
Did it not occur to you that this is a misleading statement? Where did you hear this statement?
