America's Most Quackiest Wannabee Biologist says
Hey Judge Jackson…..Karl Rove nailed it. A woman is a female human with two “X” chromosomes. Argue with that. Drop the mike.
bh ph says
Its just NOT that simple. Ask a REAL expert, say, like an actual geneticist about many syndromes where “men” have 2, 3 or even 4 X chromosomes.
America's Most Uncertain says
Hmmm…maybe you’re right. You never know. I asked my wife if she used to be a dude named Larry.
Alby says
That’ll be the day. “We hope you have enjoyed the 2024 World Olympics sponsored by Buddweiser, the king of beers and Capital One, ‘what’s in your wallet.’ Now please stay tuned for the Transexual Olympics brought to you by…… Uuuhhh??? Palmdale Firestone, ‘pay more get less.'”
Alby says
Darn it. This was supposed to be a reply to Americas most unqualified moralist. This is the third time it’s shifted my reply to a comment.
America's Most Terrible Comedian says
Which category would you compete in? Just kidding. Missed ya Alby.
America's Most Appreciative of Women says
PS: Thank heaven for our women. Our mothers, sisters, wives and daughters. Nicest people in the world and I wouldn’t want to be here without them.
When was the last time a women started a war? I mean other than a brawl in a mall or fast food restaurant.
Alby says
The Womans Olympics. I’d compete to be the Ref.
KJB says
What’s a woman???
America's Most Up to Funny Business says
Hint: They look similar to those Japanese love dolls you’ve been cavorting with.
FWB says
Why have a women’s history month when we can’t define what’s considered a woman without offending someone
Tim Scott says
Since when have you thought that offending someone was a meaningful event?
America's Most Unqualified Moralist says
Maybe a woman should be anybody that identifies as a woman, but a female is a human who was born with female physiology. There should be male sports, female sports, and transsexual sports, all equal in priority. Pretty simple. Next unanswerable question needing a solution?
FWB says
If I identify as a woman does my business qualify as a woman owned business when bidding on state and county Work?
If it does I think I’d like to also follow Elizabeth Warrens lead and identify as a Native American.
Tim Scott says
The fact that you think identifying as a woman would be an advantage suggests that maybe you should try it.
America's Most Gender Confused says
Are you gonna identify as a woman on dating sites too, you pretty son of a gun?
Shlong Fest says
This is why society is so FU’d
Back in the day this would’ve been a huge Tupperware Party.
Happiness is a warm says
Actually a clearer indication of why society is so FU’d is when an elected mayor suggests that residents carry guns illegally and shoot the homeless if then try to rob you. Mind you a homeless person could just be approaching to panhandle and that could be mistaken for attempted robbery. But that apparently was never considered by this out of the box thinking mayor.
