Within just the last 10 years no one can now describe what a woman is - incredible but true. What's really going on? Doyle explains how we got to this point.

30 min interview with Andrew Doyle on the rise of wokism as a threat to society. Brilliant man (gay), educated and funny explains wokism and why you should stand against it.

Science will help you there; in this case: biology 101:
sex:
a woman is a human being with XX-chromosomes and ovaries
a man is a human being with XY-chromosomes and testicles
(there are other differences but that should be straightforward enough)

gender:
this is - one could venture to think - culturally constructed and therefore dependent on interpretation as well as auto- and heterostereotypes

not sure you actually watched the video, the Merriam-Webster dictionary have just changed the definition of 'woman'.

Politicians can no longer define what 'a woman' is, YOU are not allowed to say there are only 2 sexes.

If this battle is lost there will no longer be free speech.


The definition of dog....not a cat...... :lmao: ...
Thanks for the good laugh!!!!!

Besides, the definition of a Transgender then should literally be a WO-MAN...Yes. No?

not sure you actually read my differentiation between sex and gender (if they - as they well might - refer to gender: a changing culture could result in a changing definition; simple historical process, really. Doesn't mean all individuals have to like it. Whatever the definition in Merriam-Webster: someone will criticize them for it; simple democratic process, really. )
No offence ;)

but commenting on the post without watching the video means you've missed the whole point. It's about free speech. The way things are going you will not be allowed to voice a different definition to the official narrative. Already in the UK the police are knocking on the doors of people who have been deemed to be using the 'wrong' definitions (such as your one) on social media platforms (such as this forum). It's happening now all through Europe.

Your thread clearly shows that you are allowed to voice your (if it actually is yours) opinion.
Sometimes you are part of a majority and you tell others what's what... and they - even if they don't like it - have to live with it.

Power - also the power to define the meaning of language (semantics) - is subject to cultural change (read the books by Foucault).
