Do you agree with Merriam-Webster's definitions of 'girl', 'woman', and 'female'?

[Physics-Man]

Yes

No

Not all of the definitions, no.
"Having a gender identity opposite of male."
Yeah, "identity" has nothing to do with it.

Luckily, as an English major, I can tell you the dictionary is descriptive, not prescriptive. Meaning, it isn't "an authority" of what words mean, it just tells you how people commonly use them, including slang and using words the wrong way. That's why the figurative definition of "literally" is now also in the dictionary. It's objectively and completely wrong, but people still use it in that way, like "literally dying of laughter right now" or "literally pissed off" when they are not in danger of death, or have piss stains on their crotch.

TL;DR: Anything and everything can be in the dictionary if enough people commonly use them.

Female: I agree with 1 a (1)
A female isn't just someone who "identifies" as female. I refuse to blur the line between "trans"woman and female.

Girl: I agree with 1 a (1).
I reject 1 a (2). Again, it's not about "identity". It's biological.

Woman: I agree with 1 a and b.

Yes, Physics, but our American president, Xi Jinping, told his sock puppet, Jo Jo the Clown, to nominate the dumbest POS he could find, to the lifetime position of supreme court justice.

Thanks for the MHO, Phys.

Marsha did a great job at that hearing, but you and I could have done better.

Physics: "Judge Jackson, when you're shopping at Walmart and you feel the need to use the restroom, which of the two restrooms do you choose, and why?"

Judge: "I guess I just flip a coin?"

I think it's rather absurd that the current environment is so skewed that this is actually a legitimate question.

No. Merriam Webster lost all credibility when they caved to some girl who wanted to validate her racism by sending them countless letters insisting they change the definition of racism to where only "the dominant race" can enact racism.

Now Merriam Webster is conflating biological sex with gender identity (a social construct, not a biological quality). It's clear they're forgoing reality in favor of liberalism. Merriam Webster is not the dictionary of English, they're the dictionary of the left.

Women. A girl a female


Is somebody with a natural born vagina.


Anything outside of that is crazy people playing make believe because there uncle touched them or there LGBT teacher/Parent encouraged that shif

[Dargil]

A girl, woman or female has two XX chromosomes. My definition is simpler and better than theirs.

[exitseven]

Leave it to Websters Dictionary to cut through all the BS. It looks good to me.

[Anonymous]

The worst of them is woman. You can't have the word itself in the definition.

Did the author who wrote that definition even pass middle school?

[DWornock]

I'm certain that I would agree with Webster definitions when he was alive.

[AugustReliable]

a world that no longer knows what a man and a woman are, doesn't deserve to continue to exist

[TheUniqueOne96]

Yep, sounds right to me.

[ShadezMcgee]

Yes, I do.
