What Is A Woman, Anyway?

What is a woman? That single asked question to Supreme Court Judicial nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson by Sen. Marsha Blackburn of Tennesse, - and her response - sparked an uproar across the country. Many on the right claimed that Jackson was behaving irresponsibly for declining to define womanhood by saying "I am not a biologist." Daily Wire's Matt Walsh capitalized on the situation and released the trailer to his new documentary "What Is A Woman?" Some other figures, however, immediately went to her defense. USA Today published an article which argued that there is "no clear way" to define womanhood. The central thesis of USA Today's article is that woman is a "social" designation, not one rooted in clear-cut observable physiology.

While the answer to this question may intuitively seem like "common sense," Mr. Watson takes that position a step further. In this video, he explores the postmodern origins of the phrase "What Is A Woman" and critiques feminist theorist Judith Butler for her theories, which he argues is at the root of this mass cultural confusion. With the power of philosophy, dynamism, and fiery rhetoric, Mr. Watson takes his viewers through a journey through the fog of postmodernism using the principles of the very tangible reality we all inhabit.
