Democrats who can't define 'woman' celebrate International Women's Day
Fox News ^ | 3/08/23 | Brandon Gillespie

A number of Democrats across the country celebrated International Women's Day on Wednesday, despite having previously been either unwilling or unable to provide a definition of what a "woman" is.

The apparent inability by many on the political left to provide a definition of a "woman" became a point of contention following now-Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson refusing to define the word when asked during her confirmation hearing last year.

"Today, on [International Women's Day], we celebrate all the women around the world who lead the way, all while contending with the weight of parenting, cost of child care, scourge of sexism – including pay disparities – and now, for many, the loss of their right to abortion care," Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra wrote on Twitter Wednesday.

Last year, however, Becerra struggled to respond during a congressional hearing when asked by Rep. Mary Miller, R-Ill., "What is a woman? Can you define the word?"

"Congresswoman, I’m looking at you, and I think you’re a woman. How much more do you want me to give you?" he responded at the time.

Becerra was joined by Sens. Raphael Warnock, D-Ga., and Michael Bennet, D-Colo., who also wouldn't provide the definition of a "woman" when asked by Fox News Digital last year.

Multiple Biden administration agencies also celebrated International Women's Day despite previously refusing to answer, "What is a woman?"

The U.S. Department of Education, Department of Health and Human Services and National Institutes of Heath also each recognized International Women's Day even though they were unable to provide a definition of a "woman" when asked by Fox last year.

A number of Republican women have sharply pushed back on Democrats' seeming unwillingness to define what a woman is, including Sens. Katie Britt, R-Ala., and Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn.

Looking forward to equal publicity given to International Men’s Day on November 19, 2023.

The myth of so-called gpgender pay disparity has been blown up so many times it is nit even a good meme.

When adjusted for profession and hours worked, men are UNDER paid.

Just the typical liberal hypocrisy I’ve come to expect.

“... now-Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson refusing to define the word when asked during her confirmation hearing last year.”

So, she won. She couldn’t answer that simple question, but she still won.

“The myth of so-called gpgender pay disparity has been blown up so many times it is nit even a good meme.

Professionals in all field have been promoted and received kudos and awards and even been made department head for doing “research” that pushes this political agenda. The research is highly flawed in assumptions and the parameters chosen.

he Biden administration awarded a biological man an award for courage in honor of International Women’s Day during a Wednesday ceremony at the White House.

Alba Rueda, a man who identifies as a woman, received an International Women of Courage award alongside 10 women from Secretary of State Antony Blinken and first lady Jill Biden. Rueda is Argentina’s Special Envoy for Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity and the country’s first trans-identifying politician to hold a senior governmental position.

Does newly appointed Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson celebrate International Women’s Day? Or does she plead ignorance because she’s not a biologist?

Democrats think they are proving that men can be better women than the genetic kind. I don’t understand why Feminists promote this crap.

International Men’s Day will get promotion and coverage if they can come up with enough women cross-dressing as men.

Lets stop using the “identifies as” BS and go back to using the more accurate and traditional “crossdresses as.”
