What is a woman? Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson knew but didn’t dare say, not exactly a good start for someone elevated to the highest court in the land where meaning is everything. So, what is a woman?
They are chromosomally distinct and, as Skip notes here, have “different bone structure, … muscle mass and types, … pulmonary and cardiac capabilities, internal and external organs, and even how [their] brain is wired is different” from men.
And Skip has a degree in biology, so he knows. Just ask Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson (who is not a biologist but differed to them) and became a meme before the end of her US Senate confirmation hearing.
Unlike that newly minted Justice, Skip is not afraid to defend a scientific fact in the face of an emotional cultural squall meant to anesthetize the population to the idea of a word-salad culture leaning toward compelled speech.
Letting the government tell you what you can and can’t say never ends well.
As Dr. Peterson noted on the subject in a clip I shared yesterday, “I’m not letting the cat have my tongue. … And the idea of compelled speech is like, the (Canadian Law) was this much about gender, and this much about oh the government’s gonna tell me what to say.”
And yet they – the people “in charge” of this – can’t say what a woman is, which seems important, especially if you are going to get into the business of using the law to tell people what they can and can’t say – based on a moving target.
It’s confusing on purpose. It creates a world where they can come and scoop you up on any given day because no one knows the law anymore. Not how to follow it or how to defend people with it or from it or its purveyors when it becomes malicious.
I wrote all that to share this. The whole weird and sometimes amusing mess boiled down to a kid, a judge, and a spelling bee.
