Comments by "R" (@rdrrr) on "Testing The Assassination Attempt of Donald Trump" video.

 @user-yy4ux9zf4r Could always go with "an adult human who was born with female reproductive organs".

@biekgiek No, "feminine" is the social construct. "Woman" is biological. If you eliminate the biological component of the definition of "woman", then anyone who claims to be a woman is. This is meaningless. Alternatively, you have to define "woman" as being "anyone that acts like a woman", which reduces the meaning of "woman" to stereotypes. You keep confusing sex, gender and sexuality. I don't think you should be telling people how to use words, personally. Now that I've got the measure of you I don't see any need to keep going, so I'll cut it off here and keep things civil.

@biekgiek No need. Merriam-Webster's got you covered. But for the hell of it: Adult: someone who has reached the legal age of majority. Human: homo sapiens Female: born with female reproductive organs. No, before you try and bring it up, infertility doesn't make you "not a woman", I didn't say FUNCTIONING organs. And intersex people are intersex, they're an anomaly. They're neither male or female.

@stefthorman8548 Good point, skeletal structure is a big part of sex differences too.

@biekgiek Sure, but the modern left-wing ideology friendly definition is circular and therefore meaningless. A woman is anyone who says they're a woman. Descriptivism is fine but words still have to mean something. And do note that many people do not subscribe to aforesaid definition, so it's not fair to say "that's what it means now, get used to it". The dust hasn't settled yet. And I feel like the pendulum is swinging back and 2010s progressivism will be dialled back a little, the same way 70s liberalism gave way to 80s conservatism. The current trendy definition may not be for keeps.

@snperkiller1054 Probably the best definition, wish I'd thought of it. D'oh!

@biekgiek I responded to this but my comment vanished. YT has been behaving oddly for a while. Often it takes some time for comments to appear. If it doesn't, then the short version is "I'm not a fan of circular definitions, and since cultural mores are in flux right now, we'll see if your preferred definition sticks or not."

@sidecharacter7165 9mm can blow lungs out of the body etc. etc. I hate it. There are logical reasons to argue for gun control. I thoroughly disagree with them and believe them to be un-American, but my point is you don't need to resort to bullshit. So why do so many liberals resort to bullshit? It poisons the well and makes productive discussion impossible.

@biekgiek The better definition is this thread was "XX chromosomes". I wish I'd said that instead. The small number of cases where someone is born with abnormal sex chromosomes doesn't disprove them working as an unambiguous sex marker in every other instance. Personally, I think you have to respect clearly identifiable sex differences or things get silly. Take sports for example - unless you consider it optimal for women's sports to be dominated by individuals born male, which seems anti-feminist if you ask me.

@biekgiek I made another comment that YT didn't post correctly. It was "the short version" of that comment. Human sexuality isn't binary, but we were talking about sexual characteristics, not sexual preferences. If you're going to argue terminology, don't mix up sex and sexuality. It'll undermine your argument.

@Mis73rRand0m Yeah, the 0.1% of cases don't disprove the 99.9%, or we could argue that seatbelts don't prevent car crash injuries because in some freak circumstances you might've theoretically been better off not wearing one.

@snperkiller1054 "Woman" means someone who is biologically female and an adult. Biology is biology. Every culture has a concept of adulthood and while the age at which you're considered an adult varies the general concept is the same. So saying "well ackshually woman is a social construct" is a useless thing to say. So your correction is not a correction, it's persnickety postmodern nonsense. Sorry.

@biekgiek You're not engaging with people honestly, you're assuming you're correct as of right and being a jackoff about it. I mean really dude, "I'm glad I could help expand your outlook on life"? I was hoping you might have something interesting to say, but sadly you brought standard-issue liberal talking points and a smug attitude. If that's all you got, take it elsewhere.

@Countryredneckhillbillybubba I just noticed the dude has an upload on his channel... ...he looks EXACTLY like you'd expect him to, lmao. Bet dude has 100,000 wholesome Reddit karma and loves overpriced IPAs. I shoulda just dragged him for that rather than debating seriously like a gaylord 🤣
