Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) told the audience at a Georgia Republican Assembly (GRA) meeting that women are “the weaker sex.”

Greene was discussing Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s statement at her Senate confirmation hearing, where the judge was asked by Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) to provide a definition of the word “woman” and Jackson said she could not “in this context, I’m not a biologist.”

Greene decided to take a whack at it.

“I’m going to tell you right now what is a woman,” she told the Republicans. “This is an easy answer.”

“We came from Adam’s rib. God created us with his hands. We are- we may be the weaker sex… we are the weaker sex. But we are our partner’s, our husband’s wife.”

Yesterday, Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-NC) tried to define what a woman is as well.

“Take notes, Madame Speaker, I’m about to define what a woman is for you,” Cawthorn said. “XX chromosomes, no tallywhacker. It’s so simple.”

On Twitter, people disagreed with Greene’s definition.
