I see videos of Crowder types asking randos on the street to do it, and of course, they always stutter and stumble their way around what it is (if they're well intentioned - of course lots just say the usual man = penis and woman = vagina answer.)

Most of the people that get caught out are just well intentioned people whose philosophy on questions like this is 'who the fuck cares' (which is valid).

However, I'd rather not be caught out. Usually I try to immediately split it into sex Vs gender by just asking them to clarify - "what is a woman according to sex or what is a woman according to gender" and then I try to go from there.

What's a good line to trot out in answer to stuff like this? It would be nice if it could become almost a set phrase answer so it could catch on easily.

    “A featherless biped” and then you shit in your hand and toss it at them

    Edit: Actually, I had an edgelord acquaintance ask me this at a DND gathering I no longer play with and tbh my answer was, “someone who identifies as a woman”. Of course, he was instantly like, “Well what if I told you I identify as a woman? What would you say then?” and I told him that quoting Matt Walsh would be a very sad way to tell someone you’re trans.

    I think if I could do it over, I’d just ask for his pronouns and try to convince my friends to be overly welcoming about his “gender exploration”.
