Debbie Lesko is doing something for women, and not the kind no one can define.<\/p>\n<p>The Republican has sponsored a \u201cWomen\u2019s Bill of Rights\u201d to provide ladies legal protection against gender ideology.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[T]here are important reasons,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/bill\/117th-congress\/house-resolution\/1136\/text\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">H.Res.1136<\/a> asserts, \u201cto distinguish between the sexes with respect to athletes, prisons, domestic violence shelters, restrooms, and other areas, particularly where biology, safety, and privacy are implicated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The initiative goes so far as to claim it knows what a woman is. As it turns out, such a creature is different than a man:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n[M]ales and females possess unique and immutable biological differences that manifest prior to birth and increase as they age and experience puberty.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>For instance:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<ul>\n<li>Males are, on average, larger in size and possess greater body strength than females<\/li>\n<li>Only females may get pregnant, give birth, and breastfeed children<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Physically, women might even be the weaker \u2014 or less aggressive \u2014 sex:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n[B]iological differences between the sexes can expose females to more harm than males from specific forms of violence, including sexual violence.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>According to the bill, \u201c[R]ecent misguided court rulings related to the definition of \u2018sex\u2019 have led to endangerment of spaces and resources dedicated to women, thereby necessitating clarification of certain terms.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hence, for purposes of federal law\u2026<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<ul>\n<li>a person\u2019s \u201csex\u201d means his or her biological sex (either male or female) at birth<\/li>\n<li>the terms \u201cwoman\u201d and \u201cgirl\u201d refer to human females, and the terms \u201cman\u201d and \u201cboy\u201d refer to human males<\/li>\n<li>the word \u201cmother\u201d means a parent of the female sex and \u201cfather\u201d is defined as a parent of the male sex<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>It would certainly be nice to again have definitions. Despite a UC Santa Cruz PhD candidate\u2019s recent attempt to bring universal order, defining words with the words themselves doesn\u2019t seem to help a whole lot:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">A woman is anyone who identifies as a woman.

The measure would like to cancel America\u2019s increasingly co-ed state:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n[T]here are important reasons to distinguish between the sexes with respect to athletics, prisons, domestic violence shelters, restrooms, and other areas, particularly where biology, safety, and privacy\u2026<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The resolution goes on to require that sex-based governmental data collection be based on the biology of each individual. Furthermore, any laws or policies which \u201cdistinguish between the sexes are subject to intermediate constitutional scrutiny.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The bill was introduced May 19th by the <a href=\"https:\/\/rsc-banks.house.gov\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Republican Study Committee<\/a>, chaired by Rep. Jim Banks (IN) and of which Rep. Debbie is a member.<\/p>\n<p>At a gathering outside the Capitol, Jim <a href=\"https:\/\/rsc-banks.house.gov\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">jabbed<\/a> wokeness:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThe modern Democrat party has put the Left\u2019s woke agenda before the rights of women. These days, Democrats refuse to even admit women exist or recognize them as unique beings, with unique abilities. While radical liberals strip away the progress and protections that generations of women fought to achieve, Republicans must fight back and acknowledge these basic biological truths. As the father of three daughters, I\u2019m proud to co-lead this resolution reaffirming the legal protections afforded to them under federal law.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Debbie decried erasure:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI am proud to introduce the Women\u2019s Bill of Rights to affirm the importance of acknowledging women and their unique and distinguishing characteristics and contributions to our nation. As the Left continues to erase women, we must fight for women and their place in our society. Whether it\u2019s keeping the word \u201cmother\u201d in written law or ensuring women\u2019s domestic violence shelters do not have to accept biological men, we must stand up for women.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>She\u2019s certainly right that womens\u2019 \u201cdistinguishing characteristics\u201d have dimmed:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/redstate.com\/alexparker\/2022\/05\/23\/calvin-klein-salutes-mothers-including-a-pregnant-man-who-isnt-a-woman-n568942\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Calvin Klein Salutes Mothers, Including a Pregnant Man Who Isn\u2019t a Woman<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/redstate.com\/alexparker\/2022\/03\/31\/hospitals-are-starting-to-ask-men-if-theyre-pregnant-n543347\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hospitals Are Starting to Ask Men if They\u2019re Pregnant<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/redstate.com\/alexparker\/2021\/08\/10\/breastfeeding-academy-bails-on-breasts-n423888\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Breastfeeding Academy Bails on \u2018Breasts\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/redstate.com\/alexparker\/2021\/02\/11\/hospitals-uk-inclusive-language-breast-milk-father-equality-brighton-sussex-n325123\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">To Be Inclusive of Non-Binary Parents, Hospitals Nix the Terms \u2018Breast Milk\u2019 and \u2018Father\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/redstate.com\/alexparker\/2022\/05\/06\/report-university-schools-midwifery-students-on-the-handling-of-the-birthing-penis-n561117\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">University Schools Midwifery Students on the Handling of the Birthing Penis<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Back to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/bill\/117th-congress\/house-resolution\/1136\/text\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">H.Res.1136<\/a>, companion legislation was introduced in the upper chamber by Sens.
