Conservative Podcaster Announces He’s Set To Release A Movie Titled “What Is A Woman”

The most telling culture-war moment of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s confirmation hearings last week came when Sen. Marsha Blackburn asked the liberal judge a simple, straightforward question.

“Can you provide a definition for the word ‘woman’?” the Tennessee Republican asked.

Jackson, a Harvard grad, replied, “Can I provide a definition? No. I can’t. Not in this context. I’m not a biologist.”

To which Blackburn responded, “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 kind of progressive education that we are hearing about.”

Conservative podcaster and author Matt Walsh is soon going to introduce the rest of the country to that question.

In recent days, Walsh, a columnist for The Daily Wire, has been promoting his upcoming documentary, entitled “What is a Woman?”

Walsh is being tight-lipped about the film, which is due out in May. But he has posted a trailer to the website whatisawoman.com.

In the brief clip, Walsh said he has traveled widely, including to Africa, over the past year or so asking people this simple question.

After a few images of people being flummoxed by his query, Walsh notes, “I’ve been asking everybody this, and almost nobody can answer it.”

Another scene shows Walsh walking through a feminist march with a sandwich board sign asking, “What is a woman?”

Walsh is also promoting a new book based on his film project. It’s called “What Is a Woman?: One Man’s Journey to Answer the Question of a Generation.” The book is due for release on June 7.

While he has not mentioned much publicly about the film, Walsh discussed where he got the idea on his podcast last week.

He said he stumbled across it while thinking about gender ideology and the slogan “Trans women are women.”

“I realized that this is the question – really the only question – we need to ask, the question that pulls down the whole edifice of gender ideology,” said Walsh.

“I asked it for years on social media and [in] speeches and interviews. It was clear that the proponents of gender ideology, the architects of the current madness, which is gripping our society, were not going to answer the question because they can’t and they had elected instead to simply ignore me, which was easy enough.”

He added, “If they wouldn’t answer my question, I decided that I would force their hand. And so I hatched an elaborate scheme that over the past year has taken me across the globe and got me into the room with some of the leading ‘experts’ in the field.”

That list included politicians, academics, pediatricians, psychiatrists, transactivist surgeons, and others. “I went everywhere from San Francisco to the African wilderness. And yes, I did all of this, essentially because nobody on the left would respond to my tweet.”

Commenting on his experiences, Walsh noted, “I watched the wise make fools of themselves over and over again. In fact, much of the real wisdom that I did encounter – and I encountered some, you’ll see that in the film – also came from simple, normal people. The kinds of people that the wise would say are fools.”

Walsh concluded that he’s already braced for the fallout, but argued it’s vital that he and others speak out.

He called the movie “somewhat of a kamikaze mission,” adding that “there will probably be some steep consequences, especially considering the people who we embarrass in his film and how badly we embarrassed them. So the fear people have is not entirely imaginary.”

“And yet the fear has scared people to such an extent that they think they can’t even talk about this at all. They treat the subject of what a woman is – what biological sex is – like it’s literally radioactive. The fear causes people to fall silent. And the silence only emboldens the ideological terrorists even more.”
