Conservative commentator and bestselling author Matt Walsh has “traveled all over the world for the past year asking one simple question: What is a woman?”
“I’ve been asking everybody this, and almost nobody can answer it,” said Walsh, whose latest book, “What Is a Woman?: One Man’s Journey to Answer the Question of a Generation”, will be released in June.

A “male” is defined as “an individual whose biological reproductive system is developed to fertilize the ova of a female.”
After the Senate voted to confirm Jackson, Independent Women’s Law Center Director Jennifer Braceras said: “We need to pass the Women’s Bill of Rights to clarify for all judges the meaning of the word woman.”
