Left’s Gender Activism Endangers Our Daughters

The term “woman” is “unquestionably not defined and has multiple definitions.” That’s how the attorney for Kappa Kappa Gamma explained why the women-only sorority ended up with a 6-foot-2-inch man living among the sisters. Members are suing Kappa for failing to live up to its bylaws, but the appellate-court judges aren’t quite sure what the authors of those bylaws — written in the late 1800s — meant when they wrote “woman.”

People tend to laugh when the supposedly smartest people in our country get tongue-tied trying to define a term that wouldn’t trip up the average preschooler. But for parents of daughters, this isn’t a laugh line. It’s reality. We really don’t know what the term “woman” or “girl” means when they are used by schools and other institutions that are supposed to provide services for our daughters. And that’s absolutely terrifying.
