Madison Cawthorn's Definition Of A Woman Gets Thoroughly Mocked

Madison Cawthorn took to the House floor on Monday to educate his fellow representatives on the definition of a woman.

His attempt to own those danged libs about gender didn't seem to change any hearts and minds, based on the social media reaction to his definition.

He said that one of his sacred duties in the chamber was to explain the difference between a man and a woman.

Cawthorn offered a definition of XX chromosomes, no tallywacker.

The liberals in Silicon Valley will strip you of your voice and ban you because of this fundamental scientific fact.

Rep. Madison Cawthorn (@RepCawthorn): "You might amend a bill, but you'll never amend biology. Science is not Burger King. You can't just have it your way...take notes Madame Speaker, I'm about to define what a woman is for you." pic.twitter.com/kPlUV2FALi

The recent confirmation hearings of Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson, who was asked to define the word "woman" by a senator, may have been a reference to Cawthorn's speech.

Jackson refused to offer a definition and replied, "I'm not a Biologist."

USA Today noted that many scientists, gender law scholars and philosophers of biology say there is no way to clearly define what makes a woman. A wave of anti-transgender bills proposed in state legislatures around the country has made gender a hot-button talking point on the right. The Texas law that would classify gender-affirming care for trans kids as child abuse is currently facing legal challenges.

Cawthorn's comments weren't liked by users on the social networking site.

This moron couldn't define what a woman was if his staff wrote it in crayon on the back of a Burger King tray liner, that is after he finished the connect the dots and, colored outside of the lines. https://t.co/LgemyI9l0Y

Cawthorn has been on a roll recently, after angering his fellow Republicans by claiming they had invited him to orgies and had also taken cocaine in front of him.

He was criticized for calling the Ukrainian President a thug and for driving with a revoked license.
