Imagine me.
Imagine a journalist. An editor. A writer. A poet. A researcher. A motherfuckin English graduate.
Imagine how absurd it will be for me to be debating what a woman is?
Me that words and language are my entire life?

Even if we were taught in that annoying 7 am Semantics class that words can evolve,
I thank God each time that was said,
our lecturers would always say that no matter how much a word evolves,
most times it cannot evolve beyond the intended root meaning.

Moreso it cannot and can never evolve without difficulty if the word describes a material fact that is predominant around the world.
Simply put, you can push for woman to take on a new meaning BUT so long as girl babies and boy babies are noticeably different

not just in terms of healthcare but also in how society has said they will be treated even before they are born,
your efforts will not only be futile,
they will encounter hostility on all fronts.
You can't evolve the meaning of a word i.e woman without backlash.

The backlash will ironically come from all sides.
The religious folk who need to define & name exactly who they are telling to submit.
The pro lifers who need to define & name exactly the kind of bodies that should be policed.
Even the feminists who push back against these two.

Honestly, ask yourself who does a redefinition of the word woman benefit?
Much more, who does the redefinition of the word woman to a point of stereotypes benefit?
Who does it?
Is it the girls who are kept in period huts?
Or is it the males who come into a mother's group

on Facebook asking for tips on pregnancy cause they want to simulate pregnancy pain on their bodies in order to cure their dysphoria?
Is it the mothers who have endured stillbirths having to watch Bobrisky wear a costume and a bump?
WHO DOES THIS BENEFIT TO YOU AS A FEMINIST?
