and…

CNN presents the third (but certainly not the last) installment of “Middle-Aged White Guys Think They’re Experts on Everything”

You know what the fuck a chair is. If you asked for a chair to sit down, and I brought in some random guy, you’d be pissed. But what’s the problem? He identifies as a chair!

Words mean things because that’s why we have words. It is a communication tool, and it is entirely dependent on the mutual understandings of definitions. I don’t believe for a second that “woman” and “man” just happen to be the only words that you cannot define because ohhhh it’s just so messy and tricky and philosophical, bruh! Deep stuff!

If these words were really that unintelligible, that confusing, that vague… then we simply would not use them. Because that is not how words are designed to work. If a word has no meaning, it’s just gibberish.

But, you know what a “woman” is, in your eyes, don’t you? It’s “whoever is feminine enough”… isn’t it? But of course you don’t want to say that, because people would easily be able to pick that apart. You’ve been backed into a corner with this question, so all you can do is dodge it with non-answers until they leave you alone.
