Hi Cuties,
At first I wasn't sure what I would write about today until I saw the latest story on LGBTQ Nation about Matt Walsh and his crap entitled "What is a Woman?"
I heard about it but there is no way I'll pay The Daily Wire for the privilege of seeing this crap.
Apparently Eventbrite won't allow this film to be screened through them.
"We do not permit events, content, or creators that promote or encourage hat, violence, or harassment towards others and/or oneself."
Thanks Eventbrite.
I have watched clips on YouTube so I feel I've gotten a good feel for the direction Matt was taking this and I for one don't like it.
Sure, he has a talent for asking hard questions and getting people to give either crappy answers or silence but does that really change the facts that he is talking about?
Does it really matter if some senior citizen in a store doesn't even understand the question before he starts spewing his garbage?
So I guess I will have to try and mount this pony and answer the big question for everyone of "What is a Woman".
First let's identify a few parameters so we can tell if we go astray.
Let's start with male and female.
I start when them because that is a universally held concept that is prevalent throughout science and society.
There are male humans, dogs, horses, fish and birds as well as female versions of those. In fact there is not a vertebrate on the planet that doesn't fall into either male or female categories with regards to sex.
So now that we have covered sex, what is left?
Gender.
So what is gender besides men and women and where does it come from and is it the same as sex?
To cut to the chase gender is largely defined by society.
If we look at the historical context in this country alone we see a wide range from the 1960 until today of gender related roles and definitions.
The reason I started with 1960 is that was the year that I was born and throughout the 60's until the turn of the century that firmly stated what a man was and what was expected of men.
I know because I grew up and tried to live like that and was so miserable I was suicidal. I also spent much of my life trying to prove to myself that I really was a man and not something else.
But that changed within our society and the strange misfits of yesterday are the day to day people of today.
Society changes through the ages and can be very different from location to location.
One clip in Matt's film shows him asking a bunch of rather primitive looking men in Africa and he was asking them about what was a woman. The answers he got were rather narrow and stunted but considering the source not too surprising.
If I went to a place where the society in the location was ignorant of these concepts of course I would get the same answers but just because someone believes something doesn't make it so.
There are billions of people who believe that an invisible being is watching their every move and upon their death will first judge them and depending upon that judgement either reward them or punish them for all eternity.
Matt asks one woman to explain about the mental state of young children with regards to Santa Claus and of course tries to say that children of that age who believe in something that isn't real can't reliably declare which gender they are.
And he goes on and on looking to use these examples to break down the accepted belief that a person can change their gender even if they can't change their sex.
He also asks what makes a person a man and this one I will answer for him.
Your chromosomes are what define what your sex is and that happens in the womb. That is unless you are a mutant with more chromosomes than normal like someone with more than 46 chromosomes.
They are called intersex.
Enough of this.
Today in our society of believers and non-believers, it is at least legally acceptable to change your gender in most states including the one I live in.
Thank God! (lol)
