“What Is A Woman?”: Roseanne Barr Gives Definitive, Hilarious Answer

Comedian and canceled TV show actress Roseanne Barr definitively answered the “what is a woman?” question when she appeared on Piers Morgan’s “Piers Morgan Uncensored” show to promote her “81 Million Jokes” tour.

That came when Morgan asked, “Now listen, Roseanne: Let me ask you the most difficult question in the world, apparently: What is a woman?” Responding, Barr first made a joke about her age and pretended that she had not heard Morgan’s question properly, asking, in response, “How much do I weigh?”

Laughing and going along with Roseanne’s self-deprecatory joke of a response, Morgan said, “No. What is a woman?” Roseanne replied with a funny, self-deprecatory joke of a response, again at her expense, saying, “A woman is me. A woman is somebody whose breasts hang down to her stomach, and who has a prolapsed uterus from giving birth to five ungrateful little bastards who have never had to work for a thing in their goddamn lives. That’s what a woman is.”

Watch that back and forth here:

The question, and Roseanne’s joke of a response, come from two main times the question was brought up: when now-Supreme Court Justice Katanji Jackson was asked the question during her Senate confirmation hearing and gave an absurd response, and from Matt Walsh’s hit documentary, “What is a Woman?”

Here’s the trailer for the documentary:

During the Senate confirmation hearing, GOP Senator from Tennessee, Marsha Blackburn, asked “Can you provide a definition for the word ‘woman’?” Jackson, in response, said, “Can I provide a definition? No. I can’t.”

Sen. Blackburn feigned surprise, asking, “You can’t?” That’s when Jackson gave the response that led to much mockery of her from the right, saying, “Not in this context. I’m not a biologist.”

Blackburn pressed her on the topic, asking, “Do you believe the meaning of the word ‘woman’ is so unclear and controversial that you can’t give me a definition?” Jackson kept dodging the question, seemingly unwilling to even hazard an answer about what a woman is. She said, “Senator, in my work as a judge what I do is I address disputes. If there’s a dispute about a definition, people make arguments and I look at the law and I decide.”

Sen. Blackburn then got to why the question is important, saying, “The fact that you can’t give me a straight answer about something as fundamental as what a woman is underscores the dangers of the kinds of progressive education that we are hearing about.”

Jackson tried to then shift a bit, saying she could answer legal questions about women but still couldn’t say what a woman is, telling Sen. Blackburn, “Senator, I’m not sure what message that sends. If you’re asking me about the legal issues related to it — those are topics that are being hotly discussed, as you say, and could come to the court.”

Sen. Blackburn fired back at Jackson, saying, “I think it tells our girls that their voices don’t matter. I think it tells them that they’re second-class citizens. And parents want to have a Supreme Court justice who is committed to preserving parental autonomy and protecting our nation’s children.”
