So many layers to this, but one of them is he thinks medical science is old enough that the word "womb" is not only a part of the etymology of "woman", but it also has the modern meaning as well. Like even when "womb" gets used in Shakespeare (e.g. in macbeth) I'm pretty sure it's a generic term for abdominal region, like the knowledge of the internal anatomy until the 16th century really only went as far as "lady, you got a baby in your belly".
It means you stop being a woman after menopause or if you had a hysterectomy! Thanks TERFs!
Terf: women are defined only by the ability to get pregnant
Christofascist: ok, now have my 10 kids and get in the kitchen
Terf: :shocked-pikachu:
Got to love hating trans people so much you return to patriarchal gender roles
Referring to my endometrial cancer survivor coworker with male pronouns feministically as he doesn't qualify as a woman anymore
Also, according to this definition, all women stop being women once they're past their menopause. It's literal handmaid's tale shit and that's hardly surprising. All forms of gender essentialism reduce human beings to their reproductive organs and by direct extension of that to the role of breeding stock. This bio-reductionism is by necessity dehumanizing and therefore aligns most perfectly with the purely instrumentalist view of humanity that is found in fascism.
During Shakespeare's time it was thought that men had vestigial wombs and so could also get a version of hysteria, which is why you'll see male characters occasionally curse their "wandering wombs" (which is what was thought to cause hysteria).
WOMB MAN sounds like a robot in a 1950s scifi movie trying to say woman
This reminds me of my high school English teacher who used words like "malediction" and "malfeasance" to prove to us that males are inherently bad because they're parts of bad words
Bit idea: English teacher who thinks English is a romance language
At least now I know I’m not the only one who had that experience. :deeper-sadness:
Thinking about the last Radio War Nerd episode, I think, they mentioned a dude who was mildly fixated on how the word dish towel is similar across the Asian/European content or something.
Feminism is when a woman's validity is determined by her baby-making potential.
She could have done the regular thing of saying with a womb, but went the extra mile of excluding anyone with a womb that is infertile.
Sorry nan, yer a man now.
afab doesn't apply if you think to be a woman you need to be able to have kids
Good point, the cis woman lifecycle:
Assigned Male At Birth -> Assigned Female At Puberty -> Assigned Male At Menopause
You forgot Assigned Female At Ovulation -> Assigned Male At Menstruation ×~500
A man is a person with a prostate, hence proman...
That's you, that's how you sound.
Words are now officially meaningless.

You heard it here folks. All women become trans men after menopause. That's just science.
