Are you a woman? Are you sure?

Feministe: God’s Rottweiler » What Makes A Woman A Woman?

According to the Unborn Child Pain Awareness Act of 2005 (Senate Bill 51 and House Bill 356, if you’re curious), it’s the ova and the uterus and nothing else. The Act, which has been criticized for its possible effects on abortion law, has been referred to committee in both the House and the Senate. It contains this excellent definition:

WOMAN- The term `woman’ means a female human being who is capable of becoming pregnant, whether or not she has reached the age of majority.

More fallout here. Sweet holy God.

So my former boss, who wasn't able to concieve, isn't a woman? News to her, I'm sure.

Apparently so. Question is, what does that make her? A man? Or just not a person?

I liked it back when I simply disagreed with the political opposition, before they started to honestly revolt and sicken me.

I suppose once you reach menopause, then, you become a man.

This will come as rather a shock to many older married men, who if they still love their, ahem, husbands have suddenly become gay.

Isn't that why they call it "men"opause? :-)

Worst. Pun. Ever.

Well done. :-)
