  • My mother isn't a "woman"?

    Anyone who has had a hysterectomy, or who is otherwise infertile, is no longer a "woman"? Talk about offensive. If THAT'S not a sign that [male] legistlators think women should be defined, first and foremost, by their reprocductive abilities (or lack thereof) then I don't know what it. What exactly IS my mother, then, once the law defines her out of the definition of "woman," hmmmmm?
