Women’s Bill of Rights
“We know what a woman is, what a female is, and what a mother is. Our politicians and our laws should too.
Radical gender ideologues are trying to redefine womanhood as a subjective state unrelated to biology. This isn’t just about semantics. This limits our opportunities and threatens our privacy and our safety.
"Help codify our common understanding of basic sex-based words.’

To be a woman, no matter your background, is to have to fight for your territory in a way that men don’t have to.

A friend said to me, “Hey you need to grow a pair. Grow a pair, Bro.” It’s when someone calls you weak, but they associate it with a lack of testicles. Which is weird, because testicles are the most sensitive things in the world. If you suddenly just grew a pair, you’d be a lot more vulnerable. If you want to be tough, you should lose a pair. If you want to be real tough, you should grow a vagina. Those things can take a pounding.
