Credit where it's due . . . This scathing rebuke from the Kansas City Star takes aim at Missouri Senator over a clumsy definition of womanhood but FAILS to offer any alternative.
Not so strangely . . . Our libertarian friends remind us that anything other than simple XX vs. XY chromosome difference (and then neither always nor completely) can offer a true differentiation betwixt males & females . . . Everything else is merely cultural distinctions which have always been subject to societal evolution . . . And none of that is to say that societies don't have A RIGHT TO OPENLY DEBATE how (or if) we define gender.
Sadly, a real debate which respects the humanity of everyone involved has become elusive. The issue is merely another culture war slap fight cynically aimed at leveraging votes.
Accordingly . . .
Check the Kansas City Star fleshing out their arguments . . .
"He told the HuffPost that “someone who can give birth to a child, a mother, is a woman. Someone who has a uterus is a woman. It doesn’t seem that complicated to me.” After a hysterectomy, would that person still be a woman? “Yeah. Well, I don’t know, would they?”
In the view he laid out, no. If fecundity is all there is to womanhood, then no young or old or sick or celibate or infertile woman is a woman at all."

Josh Hawley doesn't know it, but women are more than the sum of their parts
OPINION AND COMMENTARY First, Josh Hawley told us what it means to be a man: "A man is a father. A man is a husband. A man is somebody who takes responsibility," he said last fall. By this definition, Jesus was not a man.
