The Cambridge Dictionary of English has officially changed the definitions of the words man and woman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And while it used to be taken for granted that we look up the meanings of unknown words in dictionaries, we live in a time when we are supposed to use dictionaries to learn new ideological meanings of certain commonly known terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Under pressure from a radical liberal agenda, the Cambridge Dictionary caved in and decided it needed to be more “inclusive” and expand the definitions of the terms woman and man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A woman, as they explain, is “an adult who lives and identifies as female though they may have been said to have a different sex at birth,” and a man is, accordingly, “an adult who lives and identifies as male though they may have been said to have a different sex at birth.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Even if we go along this same problematic and superficial path, we cannot help but wonder how we are to determine whether someone “lives as a male” or “as a female”, that is, what makes that person a member of a certain gender. Especially considering that the new Cambridge definitions reject all biological and natural characteristics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Interestingly, the adjective “female” is defined as something that refers to a woman, as well as “the sex that can give birth.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The word “feminine,” according to this dictionary, means “having characteristics traditionally thought to be typical of or suitable for a woman.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Erasing biological sex<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
For several years already, there has been an insistence in the West to avoid using the word “women” and instead talk about “persons who menstruate” or “persons with a uterus.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Liberal activists in the US, for example, were upset last year that a new maternity hospital in New York was named the “Alexandra Cohen Hospital for Women and Babies” because “non-binary pregnant people” and “pregnant transgender men” might be offended, US media reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A few weeks ago, the Irish parliament greenlighted leaving tampons and pads in men’s toilets “to help all menstruating persons”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It remains to be seen what are the next “offensive” words will be, whose new meanings will be imposed on us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
