It could be argued that the most frustrating thing about today’s woke society isn’t that it emits largely from our college campuses, after all, that ground has long been ceded as little more than progressive indoctrination centers, but that corporations and the so-called “smart people” embrace the ridiculous standards being pushed.
Case in point, Cambridge Dictionary took the wholly unnecessary step of changing the definition of “man” and woman,” willingly sacrificing its credibility over what will be looked back upon in a few years’ time as little more than a fad — that being the ridiculous notion that one can choose their gender, or make up whatever twisted concoction of gender their imaginations can dream up.
The new “woke” definition took care to carve out space for those who identify as a gender other than their biological sex.
The definition of woman, according to Cambridge, is “an adult who lives and identifies as female though they may have been said to have a different sex at birth.” Similarly, a man is now defined as “an adult who lives and identifies as male though they may have been said to have a different sex at birth.”
To further establish their woke bona fides, Cambridge played the pronouns game, as Christopher Rufo, a fellow at the Manhattan Institute, noted in a tweet.
Notice that the dictionary writers say “*they* may have been.” They couldn’t bring themselves to write “she may have been,” because they know they’re lying. That’s the tell. https://t.co/0en1sGfNMq

What’s really at play here is the undermining of God and religion in general, a necessary first step for secular progressives seeking to break down American society and rebuild it in their own utopian image. We are forced to believe that a boy can be a girl and that men can get pregnant because IF they are successful here there is no end to what they can make people believe.
The inane move from Cambridge Dictionary was predictable it would seem, given that now Supreme Court Justice Kentaji Brown Jackson declared that she could not define what a woman is, before infamously adding, “Not in this context. I’m not a biologist.”
What’s slowly dawning on women, at least the smarter ones, is that they are being erased amid all the gender-fluid nonsense.
Oh wow, the @CambridgeWords dictionary definition of a woman is shocking, how did we get here?
Surely women aren’t happy with this? pic.twitter.com/18FlgJEMwH

Fittingly, Cambridge Dictionary was dragged for its actions… here’s a quick sampling of responses to the story from Twitter:
1984 wasn’t supposed to be a how-to manual. https://t.co/Qr6jJn0JYX

They won’t stop until we don’t remember what real women are anymore. https://t.co/PwXrUJT0eD

The “what is a woman” question has been so effective that they’re now rewriting the dictionary to try and neutralize it. It’s absurd and Orwellian, but also a sign that we’re winning the argument. https://t.co/jAyZJNCBj8

TRANSLATION: A woman is someone who says they are a woman which is a word we cannot define so we define it by using the term in the defintion. https://t.co/XuyzWcKhC1
