Wait a minute - aren't these the same Democrats whose Supreme Court nominee just told us she can't tell us what a "woman" is because she's not a biologist?

The response from the Supreme Court nominee was the best possible response. She was given a trick question that was meant to start an argument about what a woman is. This is unrelated to M. Trump's comments, which reflect many of our concerns. The GOP is no longer 'conservative'. They've become radical and rabid over the past 40 years.

That's right.

The GOP is now where Democrats were when JFK was president.

Democrats, are generally communists or Marxists looking to remake the country.

Conservatives, or Lincoln Republicans who brought freedom to slaves and liberty to the people, are generally homeless. They can vote occasionally with the GOP, but they should be diametrically opposed to anything from Democrats, just as a policy.

You are kidding, I hope.

This is the opposite of what's happening. The GOP are radicalized, for the past 40 years. They're NOTHING like the Ike Conservatives. 90% of Dems are far more centrist today than they've ever been.

They used to be liberals and now they are authoritarian.

They used to believe in equal opportunities, now they believe everyone should be judged on their characteristics and background.

I guess you could call that a move towards the centre.

Seems this is a concern about Boomers. Yes, many who were liberal in the 1960s became GOP in the 1980s, because of difficulties in the late 1970s. 'Conservative' approaches failed in 1987-1992, and 2001-present in the US and UK. The GOP have radicalized their party in the past 40 years, whereas only a far right portion (eg. UKIP &c) of the Tories have radicalised part of their party in the UK.

Woman (n.): adult human female

See how easy that was? Supposedly it was a "trick question"? In what way?

And seriously, allowing your Trump Derangement Syndrome to spill out into public like that? It's embarrassing.

Your Trump comment is idiotic.

Your definition of a woman too narrow. She was asked for a LEGAL answer, which is more than you've suggested here. Read: https://slate.com/human-interest/2017/09/why-a-controversial-definition-of-the-word-woman-doesnt-necessarily-mean-the-dictionary-is-sexist.html

Too narrow for what? Biology? You're anti-science and anti-logic and everyhuman knows that, bot. Work on your algorithms.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Seems that went way over your head. Hence I must be a bot. Read the Slate article.

You brought up Trump out of nowhere so you could bash him. That's textbook TDS.

[–]jet199 4 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

It's not a trick question.

That's not what a trick question is.

[–][deleted] 6 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 0 fun7 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

It was obviously a trick question. It was also a leading question and it was a highly politicised question. ANY answer that question can be heavily criticised. The LEGAL definition is not a simple 'human female' answer, which she knew very well.

So, a man and another man (who is called a “woman”) wrote to the Collins English Dictionary. Uh huh. And language influences society. Yea.

Are you claiming that because an extremely well funded faux civil rights movement, strategized over decades by billionaires, has colonized academia, media, government, public education (by stealth), NGOs, etc, that material reality no longer exists? Legally? Wow. Wealth really is power.

Read their own words!

Books including:

“ The Apartheid of Sex: A Manifesto on the Freedom of Gender”

“ Your Life or Mine: How Geoethics Can Resolve the Conflict Between Public and Private Interests in Xenotransplantation.”

“From Transgender to Transhuman: A Manifesto On the Freedom Of Form”

Denial of material reality. Genius, but nuts.

A supreme court justice should know what a woman is. I wouldn't expect someone on the radical and rabid far-left to understand.

The legal answer is not simple

[–]one1won 4 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

It was both simple and clear in the early 1970’s when legal decisions and legislation were made to address women’s rights and access in US. Sex meant sex; woman meant adult female human. Material reality.

Why is “the legal answer” “not simple” now? FeELinGs? $$$$$$$$$$$? Men’s sexual deviancies and women’s fear? ‘Cause you say so?

What is a man? What is transgender?(measurable and verifiable criteria please, personal testimony and beliefs point to a religious movement)

If we’re all “just people” then we’re on the Animal Farm, where some are more equal than others (due to the material reality of our physical bodies - influenced by reproductive function). Erasing the humanity of half the population.

The Dem party may well have broken it’s backbone fellating itself in exuberance over trans issues, losing numerous of the politically active (grunt workers) and voting backbone of the party, Dem women. More women are calling out abortion as the carrot on a string that Dems have been dangling for decades. Always shoving women to the back of the line in prioritizing issues will cost. BIG TIME.

Read the country. The other assholes are gonna sweep the elections. Left leaning Women have worked successfully with conservatives in past, and may yet again. At least the Repubs aren’t (yet) referring to women only as (bleeders, frontholes, bodies with - cervixes, vaginas, uteruses, etc.), whilst men remain men in name. Suck yourselves harder, Dems, hopefully it’ll be your last public fetishistic hoorah.
