"These are the same people who think Arby’s is a legal human being. I don’t see them assigning genders to their shady little LLCs," she went on. "Give me a break."
Critics online lambasted the congresswoman over the tweet, with podcast host Brittany Hughes calling it "the dumbest argument she has ever made, and that's saying something."

Fox News reached out to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to ask for the organization's definition of "woman" in relation to terms such as "women's rights" and "women's health care."

When requested for the definition, the NIH directed Fox News to its website section on "sex and gender."
The whole matter started when Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, the first black woman nominated to the Supreme Court, declined to define the word “woman” on the grounds that, as she put it, “I’m not a biologist.”

After a short back-and-forth, Jackson ultimately said: “No, I can’t.”
“You can’t?” Blackburn asked.
“Not in this context. I’m not a biologist,” Jackson stated.
