Republican politicians are tripping over each other to define the word 'woman,' and I, a noted woman, thought I should weigh in.
Senators John Cornyn and John Kennedy notably declined to offer definitions, but curiously aren’t receiving the same pushback as Jackson did for doing the same thing. And Sen. Josh Hawley unfortunately took it upon himself to go into more detail, defining a woman as “someone who can give birth to a child, a mother, is a woman,” and “someone who has a uterus.
If the notably pro-insurrectionist senator’s sprawling thoughts on motherhood as the equivalent of womanhood sound familiar, you’re probably thinking of government propaganda from fascistcampaign of the 1920s. The campaign impressed upon Italian women that it was their sole existential purpose to give birth, and bring glory to their nation by expanding its population.
I share many commonalities and experiences with other women, in that I apologize to chairs and tables that I accidentally walk into and I am oft told to “smile” by random men. I am also coincidentally a “homo sapien with two X chromosomes”—thanks Ted! But ultimately, I’d like to think that if I lose my reproductive organs due to some medical tragedy or choose not to procreate, I will still be a woman, because, again: I identify as one. I feel like one; I want to be one.
