It gave me a satisfyingly straightforward answer to "What is a woman?" a couple of months back:
> A woman is an adult female human. Women are typically characterized by their reproductive biology, which includes their menstrual cycle, and the production of eggs and estrogen. Women are also known for their unique physical characteristics, such as their breast tissue and hips. They are also often distinguished by their social and cultural roles, such as their expected behavior and appearance. In general, the term "woman" is used to refer to any adult female person, regardless of her age, race, ethnicity, or other characteristics.
Sadly, asking the same question today also adds a load of drivel that is almost certainly intended to encompass men performing misogynistic stereotypes of femininity and claiming they are women because of this:
> A woman is an adult human female, typically distinguished from males based on biological sex characteristics such as reproductive organs, hormones, and chromosomes. However, it's important to recognize that the concept of womanhood is not limited to biology, and encompasses a range of social, cultural, and personal experiences and identities. The definition of a woman can vary across different societies, cultures, and historical periods, and can also be influenced by factors such as gender roles, expectations, and societal norms. Ultimately, being a woman is a complex and multifaceted experience that is shaped by various intersecting factors such as race, ethnicity, class, sexuality, and more.
