President Biden’s Supreme Court Nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson has come under fire after being unable to define the word “woman”. When asked by Senator Marsha Blackburn, Brown Jackson replied saying that she could not define the word, because she is not a biologist.
“Woman” is an English word. The word or iterations of the word and pronouns that go along with people who are women are used on a daily basis by every American. This is a word that should be rather easy to define, no biology degree is required.
A woman is defined by Oxford as “an adult human female”. This word is very straightforward. Under clips of the encounter supporters of Ketanji Brown claimed that Blackburn has sprung a “trap” or had asked a “trick question”.
If this question is a trap, it speaks volumes about the person who gets caught in it.
Senator Blackburn did not ask the Supreme Court nominee to explain Einstein’s theory of relativity. Instead, she asked her to define one of the simplest and most common words in the English language.
Brown Jackson could even argue, that the definition is up for interpretation, but because she was so unwilling to step on the toes of the woke mob, she couldn’t bear to let the words slip out of her mouth.
Perhaps this an issue that speaks more to the current social climate of America. What if, Ketanji Brown Jackson truly could, and wanted to define the word “woman” but knew if she did, it would cause her to be bombarded by the woke mob that she has submitted herself to?
