An Age Old Question?
Matt Walsh
Most people have heard the folktale of the Emperor’s New Clothes. What is a Woman is the darker side of the ideological blindness that drives the older tale. Part of the intensity of this Daily Wire documentary is watching Matt Walsh travel all over North America and beyond to find the modern answer to a question that has had a universally accepted definition since the dawn of time. In the film, Matt Walsh strives to get a simple answer to the question “What is a woman.” We might be amused by all the fumbling attempts at answers but, that hides an evil directed at our children.
You’d think from the trailer that the documentary is going to be funny because when Matt Walsh asks, “What is a woman,” transgender activists, gender therapists, and academics look silly as they either attempt to answer the question or evade it entirely. But then, I found myself getting angry. These people know what they’re doing. Less than a minute into the film, Matt Walsh says that people who say there is no difference between males and females “are idiots.” He spends the next ninety minutes proving it.
At least, in the Emperor’s New Clothes the only real victim of the farce was the emperor. In What is a Woman, we see that it is children, often young teenagers, that are hurt. The fumbled and silly responses Matt Walsh provokes during this 90-minute documentary are amusing, but again, this film has a dark side. The main problem is many of the so-called experts are caught up in a web of self-deception or they are simply lying when they proclaim that Walsh’s question has no easy answer. One person interviewed for the film says that many drug companies and medical practitioners involved in transitioning children are making huge profits from the business.
To make matters worse the gender therapists, activists, academics, and doctors who profit from this new non-definition are often well-paid and claim the moral high ground while hurting children. All that made this documentary difficult, but necessary for me to watch.
What is a woman, an adult human female, or an almost undefinable social construct? Matt Walsh conducts roving interviews on the streets of New York and San Francisco but finds no answer. Kenyan tribespeople appear to have more common sense. So did Canadian clinical psychologist, author, and professor emeritus at the University of Toronto, Jordan Peterson. These people add clarity to the jungle of nonsense about the issue.
Only four conservatives have written reviews on Rotten Tomatoes but, the documentary has a 97 percent fresh audience score. In the crazy world we live in, this is necessary viewing for conservative parents. What is a Woman is only available through the Daily Wire.
