    Hey Judge Jackson…..Karl Rove nailed it. A woman is a female human with two “X” chromosomes. Argue with that. Drop the mike.

      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.

        Hmmm…maybe you’re right. You never know. I asked my wife if she used to be a dude named Larry.

    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.'”

      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.

      Which category would you compete in? Just kidding. Missed ya Alby.

        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.

        The Womans Olympics. I’d compete to be the Ref.

          What’s a woman???

            Hint: They look similar to those Japanese love dolls you’ve been cavorting with.

    Why have a women’s history month when we can’t define what’s considered a woman without offending someone

    • Tim Scott says

      March 24, 2022 at 11:18 am

      Since when have you thought that offending someone was a meaningful event?

    • America's Most Unqualified Moralist says

      March 24, 2022 at 2:05 pm

      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

        March 27, 2022 at 8:48 am

        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

          March 27, 2022 at 10:26 am

          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

          March 27, 2022 at 10:50 am

          Are you gonna identify as a woman on dating sites too, you pretty son of a gun?

    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

      March 24, 2022 at 8:09 am

      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.
