A Woman Is A Woman

Watching two men of renown rage at each other on the news, threatening violence and calling each other women, I am almost bored. That behavior does not have anything to do with women. Men push other men like rams in a field, it is what they do. If no one gets hurt, it is sometimes amusing to women to see men try to stick a label of "Woman" on another man, because it cannot be done. And "Woman" is not an insult to a woman. Woman does not mean effeminate, weak, or cowardly, no matter how men wrangle the definition. I think men intent on belittling intend the old-fashioned word, sissy, an insult which neither man nor woman should tolerate.
