Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is known for her opposition to trans rights. She’s previously erected a prominent sign outside her office in Congress stating there are only two genders, and consistently misgenders prominent trans individuals, such as Dr. Rachel Levine.
She has taken several opportunities to blast the participation of trans women in women’s sports.
On the weekend, she was at it again. Addressing the Georgia Republican Assembly on Saturday, Greene gave her own definition of what it means to be a woman.

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Greene was responding to the hearing for prospective SCOTUS justice Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson last month. During the hearing, Jackson was asked by Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-Tennessee) to define what a woman is. Jackson declined to answer, saying she was “not a biologist.”
“She said she’s not a biologist,” said Greene. “I’m going to tell you right now what is a woman. This is an easy answer. We are a creation of God,” she says to several cries of “yes” from the crowd.
“We came from Adam’s rib … We are the weaker sex, but we are our partner’s, our husband’s wife.”
Several members of the audience clapped.

Greene’s assertion that women are the weaker sex has not gone down well with the Twitterverse.
Maybe she’s the weaker sex, I sure as fuck am not.

Novels, poems, ballads, and science books – all places to find thoughtful, beautiful or intriguing ideas about the nature of women. But I don’t think the women of CD14 are buying this crap Greene is selling. I am a strong and capable woman who will actually work for the people! https://t.co/LgYxok6VIM

And lots of us aren’t married. Our relationship to men does not define us.

Then why is she in Congress? Shouldn’t she be home cooking and cleaning? Did she have to ask him if this was ok?

And if you’re a single female that makes you male????

Those of us who are single…do we fall under the supervision of our father? What happens to us when our dads are deceased? I’m really starting to get concerned that I have no one to watch over or tell me what to do. Keep in mind my dad said, “No one tells Karen what to do.” 🙄

I don’t know a woman presently that would accept that definition in any way, shape, or form.

Too bad she didn’t keep going with the rest of the story where Adam and Eve’s kids married each other

She was not her husbands wife a dozen times at her local gym.

When not defining what it means to be a woman, Greene spent yesterday congratulating Hungary’s far-right, anti-LGBTQ President Viktor Orban for his re-election and saluting his anti-LGBTQ stance.
“He’s leading Hungary the right way and we need this in America,” she tweeted. “America should also ban sexually explicit media in sex-ed and all gender change information for minors under 18 intentionally confusing children.”
Mister P
We don’t need anyone who believes In holy ghosts in Congress.
hoosier1969
I have no problem with members of Congress having a faith system in their lives.
I have a problem with the ones who feel only their flavor of Christianity should create laws.
Brian
Oh, I highly doubt this woman actually believes in the Christian god and prays to him. She’s one of the top fundraisers in Congress because she knows the sorts of things to say to get money. This speech was purely about riling up the audience.
(You can use the same reasoning to see that she doesn’t really care about girls’ or women’s sports either. She’s not advancing any bills. She never talks about Title IX. It’s not about girls. It’s just about being famous, rich, and powerful.)
Polaro
Wow, no. She’s just so very dangerous.
BaltoSteve
Ah, and now we see the pseudo christian in her natural habitat. See how she picks and chooses God’s law to support her limited sense of community and highlights her lack of basic empathy. Fascinating!
ZzBomb
The tweet from ‘LibrarianLovely’ says it all.
Bosch
She insists upon the gender dichotomy to distract us from the fact that she looks like a straight man doing drag for the first time.
Heywood Jablowme
Lol. Maybe “she” has a bigger “tallywacker” than Madison Cawthorne.
whereshouldistart
Heywood Jablowme…playdough toes calls our naughty parts wee wees and hoo hoos. The word “ta?lywhacker” gives her and Lindsey Graham the vapors!
kish
Unless you are less intelligent than she is, it is pretty obvious that she is just using her platform to make viral soundbites to promote herself.
She is a fool. She is only creating a brand for herself.
mateo
She’s never actually WORKING in Congress, but rather, spends all her time making these insane speeches to fringe groups and giving insane interviews to the press. Compare this to the much maligned (by the Q crowd, anyway) “Squad”: when have we been subjected to almost daily speeches by AOC or Ilhan Omar? Never, that’s when. Because they’re actually legislating! I don’t know, maybe the other members of the House are secretly glad that MTG is never around; at least they can do their jobs in peace. But what bothers me is that she’s picking up a hefty salary and is enjoying plenty of perks for essentially doing nothing.
kish
Totally. Hopefully the voters that gave her her seat have noticed this and will act accordingly.

She’s nuttier than a cashew tree but FAR, FAR more dangerous!
GrizzleyMichael
And yet nobody does anything to stop these morons.
Kangol2
@GrizzleyMichael, what can be done to stop them? There is a significant chunk of this country that votes for people like her. This is the same woman who, just yesterday, with 62 other RepubliQan members of the US House, voted against affirming NATO. Absolutely horrendous!
ShiningSex
People need to keep report her posts that OBVIOUSLY violate their terms. The crap she said about the Supreme Court nominations and referring to those supporting her are pro-pedophiles. How is that not a violation of Twitter regulations??? People need to get her kicked off.
white-queer-african
What a moron. Then again she was voted into office by a greater group of morons!
Oh, on a side note. I do miss the GOP PRAISE SINGERS from Mother Russia.

I wonder if Queerty cracked down on the multiple identity crackpots, because they’ve been silent for several days now. BarryM/MarcyMayer/JamesHart was one for the ages.

Marjorie Taylor Greene’s definition of “woman” doesn’t turn back the clock 100 years. 2,000 years is more like it. 18th century British feminist Mary Woolstonecraft’s “A Vindication of the Rights of Woman” saw through all this “weaker sex” crap.

How conveniently these fundamentalist invoke the “Word of God!” She needs to adhere to ALL scripture especially when “speaking for God”
“34 women should be silent in the churches. For they are not permitted to speak, but should be subordinate, as the law also says. 35 If there is anything they desire to know, let them ask their husbands at home. For it is shameful for a woman to speak in church.” 1 Corinthians 14:34-35 [NRSV}
Perhaps she should practice and not preach the Word!!
whereshouldistart
How does this moron breathe without assistance?
LMG
She IS partially correct. Marjorie Taylor Greene as well as Marsha Blackburn do come from Adam – his SH!T. That’s why they were both thrown out of TGOE. They stunk up the whole place.
SFMike
She conveniently forgets, as do most Christian women, that God also says to STFU and do as men tell you. Her problem is she need a good “godly” man to put her back in the kitchen with a ball gag in her mouth where she belongs as property of a man. Read your Bible folks. 1 Timothy 2:12 is the twelfth verse of the second chapter of the First Epistle to Timothy. It is often quoted using the King James Version translation:
“But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.”
msfrost
I am not impressed, with a quote, from someone. Imaginary!!!!!
I believe in reality!!!
Essie
Doesn’t seem like she had much of a crowd at this event. Maybe the media should just ignore her. She is uneducated and stupid and she represents uneducated and stupid people in her district. She and whatever she says, is unimportant but the media makes her sound like a lot of people care and they don’t. I seriously believe that if she is ignored she will go away.
Godof 1967
Why do people give her a voice ?
As an Aussie she would be lampooned into oblivion but in the US she seems to be worshiped.
Strange culture where people fight to save babies from being aborted and yet when the baby becomes an adult and screws up they can’t wait to give them the death sentence….
Kangol2
Don’t forget that these “pro-life” fanatics like Taylor Greene also don’t care about the life of mothers who might be dying from ectopic pregnancies or other reproductive crises, and really don’t care about babies, women and children in other countries like Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Somalia, etc. who are blown to smithereens by US bombs! Many of them eagerly cheered on the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, especially when George W. Bush was president.
TomG
Apparently someone needs to tell this “woman” that it is the 21st century and NOT the 1800’s. Better yet, a padded room in a mental hospital would suit her even better.
