Back in about 2015, I recall conservatives warning that legalising same-sex marriage would end in a wholesale erasure of gender. I couldn’t picture what such a scenario would look like — and I, therefore, didn’t find this iteration of the “slippery slope” argument too compelling.

Fast-forward to 2022\. Same-sex marriage has been legalised for several years. Transgender ideology is thoroughly mainstream, having successfully piggy-backed off the same-sex marriage movement.

And here is what Harvard-educated Ketanji Brown Jackson — the nominee for the highest legal appointment in the free world — has to say about gender:

If it weren’t so serious it would be laughable. Well, actually, it is laughable — and the trusty internet hasn’t failed to see the funny side.

“‘What is 2 + 2?’” tweeted conservative commentator Kangmin Lee. “Judge Jackson: ‘I don’t know Senator, I’m not a mathematician.’”

RedState’s Jeff Charles also [weighed in](https://twitter.com/JeffOnTheRight/status/1506627628538732550?ref=goodoil.news): “Officer: Ma’am, do you know how fast you were going? Ketanji Jackson: How the hell should I know? I’m not a physicist!”

In a meme genre that really writes itself, Matt Walsh also had his say, [tweeting](https://twitter.com/MattWalshBlog/status/1506733482478870530?ref=goodoil.news), “I’m pretty sure it’s a cloudy day but I’m not a meteorologist so I can’t speak with authority on the subject.”

In fact, Walsh deserves special mention as perhaps the [earliest critic](https://twitter.com/search?q=define%20woman%20%28from:MattWalshBlog%29&src=typed%5Fquery&ref=goodoil.news) noting that the transgender house of cards comes tumbling down under the meagre weight of one extremely simple question: “What is a woman?”

If irony counts as humour, we must also consider that Ketanji Jackson being a woman was crucial to her SCOTUS nomination, and yet she can’t define what that all-important characteristic actually is.

Looking beyond the humour — but staying well within the bounds of irony — there are other questions we must ask about Jackson’s beliefs on gender, and her looming nomination.

If it takes a biologist to define what a woman is, isn’t Jackson conceding that the question of gender should be settled biologically, rather than emotionally?

How will Jackson — who cannot define what a woman is — be able to rule on abortion cases which are, if nothing else, instances of women’s lived experiences?

In an age that says “believe all women” and with a court system that often favours women in divorce and child custody cases, what good will a SCOTUS justice be who sees sex and gender as open slather?

March is Women’s History Month. But it’s been a rough one for women in 2022.

We’ve seen a biological man win the women’s NCAA swimming championship; another biological man become one of USA Today’s Women of the Year; Twitter banning multiple accounts that have spoken truthfully about women, and a Supreme Court nominee who can’t define the word woman.

It seems we missed the memo. The theme for this year’s Women’s History Month? *Women are history*.
