What is a Woman?
Up until 5 years ago I would have admittedly said "a woman is someone with a vagina."
But time, education and an openness to try and understand other people's perspectives has changed my views.
If you were to ask me "What is a woman" today, I, like a lot of people would struggle to give an answer. That doesn't mean I don't have a belief.
What it comes down to is that what a woman is to me might not be a woman to someone else. Just like if I were to ask someone "what is god?"
A lot of people would have an exact definition, while others will have a differing view. Some would say God doesn't exist. Other would say that God is different for everyone.
To me God is whatever someone wants to believe God is. My answer for what a woman is, would be the same thing. It's whatever you want it to mean to you. I know what I believe, but I wouldn't force those beliefs onto someone else, just like I would tell a Jewish person or Muslim person "Merry Christmas."
And just like I wouldn't try and tell other people what God is, I also wouldn't try and tell other people what a woman is. Not because I don't have a solid belief in what I define as a woman, but because my belief might offend someone else.
