What Is a Women’s History Month?
Ricochet ^ | 27 Mar 2022 | Jon Gabriel

Since 1987, America has recognized March as Women’s History Month. In this year’s proclamation, President Biden wrote that the event “provides an opportunity to honor the generations of trailblazing women and girls who have built our Nation, shaped our progress, and strengthened our character as a people.”

Truly a noble effort. But in 2022, nothing can be so simple. We can’t even agree what a “woman” is, let alone “history” or “month.”

The latest example occurred during the hearings for Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s nomination to the Supreme Court. Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R–Tenn.) asked the nominee, “Can you provide a definition for the word ‘woman?'”

Jackson appeared befuddled. “I can’t,” she said, “I’m not a biologist.”

Any elementary schooler could answer this easily: “a woman is an adult female person.” But a graduate of Harvard Law and a Circuit Judge for the D.C. Court of Appeals had to feign ignorance.

In 2022, common sense is dangerous.

If appointed to the high court, which seems all but assured, Jackson will rule on laws such as the Violence Against Women Act, Title IX, and the Equal Pay Act, which requires men and women to be paid the same

And for Ms Blackburn’s comment someone on the Nashville school board wanted to know if someone couldn’t just set her on fire. Nice huh? Or is is it ‘Womxn’s Mystery Month’? Could be.

What is the point of having a Women’s History Month if males can say they are women and the person that democrats are trying to push on our great country cannot decipher between a male and a female. What is the point then of having a women’s history month?

Evil has been trying to pervert God’s sacred truths since the beginning of time.

Yes, we can know what a woman and a man is.
The left is bowing to evil when it pushes it’s lies that we cannot tell between a man and a woman.

Did you know that September is prostate awareness month? More men die of prostate cancer than women from breast cancer. Ever hear anything about that? Didn't think so. Guess it'd be sexist to mention it. Oh, BTW, it's also child cancer awareness month as well. Nary a peep about either.

My gramps died of prostate cancer is why I mention this.

She’ll be supporting insanity and soon, all “great women in history” will be men.

Sorry about your grandfather. My dad had prostate cancer too, as did one of his many brothers, but they got thru that.

Where do you hear that, though?

Perhaps it’s partly because there is a truly bad breast cancer, that is basically certain death. My sister had it. Not sure if there are any corresponding prostate cancers.

It is a month where virtually no important history is to be studied.

Senator Blakburn: “Can you provide a definition for month?”
Ketanji Brown Jackson: “I can`t. I am not a Roman Emperor.”

I thought it was 5-7 days every month, but maybe I'm thinking of some other woman event.

🤣
