Merriam Webster changes definition of female

"Having a gender identity the opposite of male."

The feminists are gonna LOVE this.....
 
Example #4672 of a leftist twisting the meaning of a word to fit a bullshit narrative

How surprising
you're suggesting you're not a fragile snowflake who can get offended at something that has nothing to do with them or any bearing on their life? ya know, like those liberals you despise?

I’m not offended by it. I’m calling it out for what it is, bullshit. Attempting to change reality affects everyone, so yes, it does or will at some point have bearing on my life. But more concerning it will have an affect on my child’s life

There’s already real world changes in place to accommodate this mental illness, so excuse me for being concerned

Having mental and emotional meltdowns is not the same as addressing something you’re concerned about… But you know that. You guys just get so butthurt for being laughed at that you try so hard to flip the script… Just doesn’t work homey
 
nothing screams snowflake like posting shit like this. when is the last time you had to look up the definition of woman in the dictionary?
I think that was his whole point......no one ever had to, it was pretty self explanatory. Feels like it was something that didn't need to be updated, changed or altered but call me traditional I guess.

Something changed in a book you won't ever read and somehow you're upset. Why let people who you won't ever come into contact with get you upset? Isn't this the type of thing only the liberals do?

Something changed in a dictionary (pretty important book, no?) because 1% of the country decided it was time to redefine the definition of "woman".....and you're more concerned about those that question why it needed to be changed?
 
They can change the words in a book but no one except God can change the DNA of what makes a man and what makes a woman

There are anomalies but the self declaration is about as stupid as it gets

In July of 21, the current admin DOJ formed a special task force to monitor and arrest those that harassed election officials over the results of the 2020 election. Totally justified in my opinion, we shouldn't tolerate it.

Fast forward to 2022 and we have SCOTUS justices under attack with no special task forces to treat as domestic terrorism.

Why the difference in approach from the admin?

So if the right is the party of grievance politics, is the left the party of pitchfork politics? The constant encouragement of harassment and "in your face" pressure on justices, politicians, police, jury's, etc would certainly lead one to make that argument.

personally, i think that politicians and elected/appointed officials should be harassed if they enact policies that the public doesn't support. they should be heckled in restaurants, have protests outside their homes, and anything else short of actual violence.

also, y'all sure are milking the hell out of "Justices under attack" considering it was just one guy who turned himself in to law enforcement before he even did anything.

Which policy are you referring to? Surely not Roe/Wade where half the country did in fact support it. It's quite possibly one of the most contested and equally split rulings the Nation has ever seen going back to the initial court battle.

No one is milking anything, someone showed up at a justice's house with the intent to kill him over a ruling they didn't agree with. You downplaying that or the fact that their entire neighborhood has hundreds of protesters in it daily, tells me what's wrong with the nation these days. Even if you support pressure on the actual justice, you're disrupting the lives of everyone in his neighborhood. Can't see how that's ok.

The entire reason we hold elections is so that people can support their stances and views with votes, not mob rule pressure. What you're suggesting is that you support pitchfork politics.

idk looks like a majority actually supports upholding RvW. Also, i imagine many people are upset that kavanaugh, barrett, and others all blatantly lied about their stance on RvW during their interviews for appointment.

i support people exercising their first amendment rights as long as things stay nonviolent. this instance with Kavanaugh didn't turn violent, and the perpetrator actually turned himself in. so yes, i consider it a "nothing burger."
 
Welcome to the shítshow ladies and gents. Up is down, black is white

https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/merriam-webster-changes-the-definition-of-female/
Nothing like a good ol' fashioned recursive definition to signal that we have abdicated ourselves of the responsibility to think....

Female | adjective | fe·male | \ ˈfē-ˌmāl \
b: having a gender identity that is the opposite of male

Male | adjective | \ ˈmāl \
b: having a gender identity that is the opposite of female


There are no contradictions. If you find one, check your premises. You will find that one of them is wrong

To arrive at a contradiction is to confess an error in one’s thinking; to maintain a contradiction is to abdicate one’s mind and to evict oneself from the realm of reality.

SCOTUS justices are not and were never meant to be accountable to "the people" (i.e. popular sentiment; i.e. mob-rule). Otherwise they would not be appointed in this manner. Moreover, they most certainly were not meant to rule on cases in accordance with popular trends, but in accordance with the Constitution.

An apt quote from Jean-Jacques Rousseau, circa 1762:
"[...] there is no government so subject to [...] intestine agitations as democratic or popular government. [...] Were there a people of gods, their government would be democratic. So perfect a government is not for men.”
This is from Rousseau's famous treatise, Du Contrat Social (The Social Contract)...the same pulication that gave us this perhaps more famous quote--often wrongly attributed to Thomas Jefferson, who clearly read a lot of Rousseau's work:
Malo periculosam libertatem quam quietum servitium
Meaning: I prefer liberty with danger to peace with slavery.

Our Founding Fathers understood this point very well, so they sought a different solution: a constitutional republic. Note that during the early days of our 'Republic', only one part of one body of federal government was to be popularly elected...that being the house of representatives. And even then that body was constrained to representatives of a specific district. While the 17th amendment made it so that the Senate was to be popularly elected per sate in 1912, even our country's chief executive is still not popularly elected.

Here is the full quote from The Social Contract, Book III, Chapter IV. Democracy:
It may be added that there is no government so subject to civil wars and intestine agitations as democratic or popular government, because there is none which has so strong and continual a tendency to change to another form, or which demands more vigilance and courage for its maintenance as it is. Under such a constitution above all, the citizen should arm himself with strength and constancy, and say, every day of his life, what a virtuous Count Palatine said in the Diet of Poland: Malo periculosam libertatem quam quietum servitium.
Were there a people of gods, their government would be democratic. So perfect a government is not for men.

To be clear, I am not saying that supreme court justices should NOT be accountable to the public; I am actually somewhat conflicted on that point. What I am saying is that by virtue of the fact that they are 1) appointed, not elected, and 2) appointed for life, they essentially have to answer to no one. I am also saying that this was not an accident of oversight by the the Founding Fathers. It was quite deliberately set up this way. I will do a quick search through the Federalist Papers(*) to see this specific topic was broached. (Edit: And indeed it was broached by Madison in Federalist No. 10, as "...the means of preventing rule by majority faction..."; the emphases are mine). It may have also been broached by Hamilton in Federalist No. 78 where he laid out the doctrine of judicial review, but I'll need to read it in the context of 'public judicial accountability' to be sure.)

Nevertheless, I do think know that harassing someone in public--elected official or not--is a crime. It is a mob-rule tactic and should never be tolerated in a civil society.

(*) for those unaware, the Federalist Papers were a series of pseudo-anonymous discourse--predominately between James Madison, the author of the Constitution, and Alexander Hamilton, Washington's former adjunct General, most trusted confidant, and arguably the one who would wield the most power in the early years on our Nation's founding. In this series, published under pseudonym in news papers, Hamilton, Madison and a few others made the case for the US Constitution and discussed its ramifications. In essence, we need not have to guess what the Framers intended.

One guy who admitted he wanted to kill a Supreme Coirt Justice.
“Before he did anything” smh
 
So you didn’t know either?
I’m not a biologist but I do have an IQ above 10. I looked up the definition to see what was so confusing to a Supreme Court nominee. What an embarrassing answer.

I hope dems keep pushing the trannies. It’s the issue that makes them look unhinged the most. Even lifetime democrats speak out against the ridiculous trannies

so you did have to look it up?

Let me say in virtually every case I would not have to look up the definition

Only in severe case I may have to use DNA

but there is no doubt that the massive majority and only a few rare cases there are only two from the womb male of female with again a few rare exceptions

My opinion would be a woman is a person who has certain body parts (including organs) that men do not and someone that can bear a child and give birth. If some man can somehow go out there and give birth and grow a child, then that would by all indications mean that they are indeed a female in my mind. I really don't think its hard stuff

A woman is an adult human female, no further definition or explanation is needed.
