What Is A Woman?
Watching Piers Morgan Uncensored on YouTube, I wondered what the big deal is.
What is a woman? Seriously! Who is a woman?
As a woman, there’s a list of things I want to share, especially after a guest on the programme answered the question with, “A Woman Is A Woman.” Well, it sounds like someone saying as in the song by Shania Twain, “I feel like a woman”. But being of feminine gender is more than a feeling!
Then another one in the aforesaid show, said, “Anyone With Boobs Is A Woman”! Hey! How about male breasts? What if a man with male breasts knows and believes he is a man?
What about chromosomes? And how about Carl Jung’s Anima and Animus? The unconscious aggressive, go-getting part of a woman, is the masculine aspect of a woman’s psyche. While the kind, caring side of a man’s psyche has a feminine aspect.
In a world where women are battling for equal rights at home, at work, in sports or arts, is it okay to really lose the perspective on woman’s identity?
Coco Channel always dressed in pants and shirts, but she designed the most exquisite women’s clothes of her time. Was she feeling like a man when she was wearing men’s clothes of her time or was she feeling like a woman when she designed those comfy and perfect dresses?
There has been enough debate since time immemorial about women, who they are and what they want. But our century has taken all the years of women’s struggle down several notches.
The identity of a woman is in question.
Trans women who are biologically stronger than natural-born women with their men’s genes may say they are woman enough to compete in the women’s category in sports.
But why take undue advantage of womanhood? Have not the women, who were born a woman, enough unfairness to deal with? Why add to it by taking advantage of one’s choice of identity?
We are either born a man or a woman. While the male body is stronger, a woman’s body is more enduring. Men have more body power, while women can bear more pain. Who is better? Who has the advantage? It all depends on the situation at hand.
You are born a woman or a man. Even those of the third gender, generally choose the feminine identity. But it is up to you what you will make of your life, irrespective of the gender you choose to live as. Freedom of choice is a right no one must usurp. So, creating an uproar just to cause chaos and confusion is in bad taste.
Why debate, What Is A Woman or Who Is A Woman?
When the woman in me hears these questions, she laughs. Womanhood is my identity even when I Act Like A Child, I remain a woman.
Trust me, it is not because I have boobs, but because I have the guts to give every male I meet a tough fight. So, here’s my answer to What A Woman Is.
A woman is not a chattel. She is not a property. She is neither just a mother, a sister, a wife, a friend or a trouble. A woman is her own person. She is totally and utterly unstoppable. And she is her biggest fan. She Is Her Number 1. And She Is Proud To Be Born A Woman.

Yes, the very term ‘ woman’ brings forth a plathora of qualities and emotions, dominated by the the words ‘ creator, protector and preserver’.
Agreed. A woman is the extension of Bramha, Vishnu and Lord of the Lords Mahesh in 1 body.
That’s a wonderful narrative to people’s traditional beliefs. I strongly believe, woman is not just a subject of entertainment or keyed toy. Woman is absolutely a unique character in our so called society, she lives in. I do not want to describe her strengths and capabilities and other attributes but I would say – without woman, the globe in definitely incomplete !
My best to author and her work ?
Thank you, Dhruv. I agree. The narrative today can’t match the blessing we call woman.
