While it's true she's been programmed, "what is a woman?" is also a completely unanswerable question to the leftist. The closest answer is 'someone who feels like a woman,' which is of course a total copout. She should have at least had that ready, though.
A few feminists have been caught in that loop before because it begs the question. I can't remember who it was but on the Whatever podcast some feminists answered that a woman is "someone who feels like a woman", and a Right-winger retorted with "So if a straight White male feels like a woman, he's now a woman?"
I think one of them answered "yes", and -- I'm almost pretty sure it was Michael Knowles -- who asked the follow-up question, "So does that mean he still has the privileges of a straight White male if he identifies as a woman?" and the panel went quiet and was scrambling to find an answer because their definition of a woman contradicted their stance about male privilege if a man can simply identify as a woman if he "feels" like it.
Not only is it a copout, it's recursive. And recursive definitions are garbage that means nothing. How can you feel like something that can't be defined?
If someone really wanted to be a troll about it, they could claim that something that can't be clearly defined doesn't exist, therefore women don't exist and the overweight feminist he's talking to is actually a man with tits who is enjoying his male privilege without reflecting on it. Would probably cause a nice meltdown.
