Woman is Worth Fighting For
The following is an excerpt of an op-ed submitted by WoLF Political Consultant Chenelle Brown, published April 17th in the Daily Hampshire Gazette.
In March, this paper published an important guest column titled “LBGTQ and the erasure of true female identity.” In it, writer Karen Bercovici argued that “woman” is a sex classification, not a social role, performance, or subjective belief. She insisted that women’s rights were hard won and remain necessary for our safety and political equality.
Moreover, she rejected the concept of “gender identity” and its conflation with biological sex in our laws and public policies. It was uplifting to read a defense of “woman” in a local paper, given how much our commonwealth has been captured by gender ideology and gender medicine propaganda.
And while it was predictable that Bercovici would be attacked online for daring challenge men’s rights to claim “woman,” I admire her for speaking out anyway. Woman is worth fighting for.
Woman denotes adult human female, Bercovici insisted. She suggested females possess reproductive sex traits that are distinct from males in ways that leave us vulnerable to physical subordination by men. She was right, and the 19th Amendment offers evidence of that. Enacted in 1920, 50 years after American men gained the right to vote as such, the 19th established that citizens could no longer be prohibited from voting “on account of sex.”
