In the woke world, it is necessary to constantly redefine the meaning of just about everything. Verso Books made the effort, referring to “women” (womnx, cis fems, menstruators, child bearers – whatever term you are familiar with) as “womb carriers” in a series of tweets about the plight of Native Americans, of a specific gender that must not be spoken.
Twitter users were not particularly receptive to the freshly coined term.
As a brain carrier, I find the term “womb carrier” ridiculous

I am a woman. I am not defined by hair, makeup, clothes, and feelings. I am more than a womb carrier and birthing person.

Even some feminists came out to denounce the word scramble.
I do not buy that “inclusive” language like bleeder or cervix haver or womb carrier has anything to do with women that call themselves men or non-binary. It’s so that the word woman is no longer associated with biology, with the female sex.
It’s for the benefit of men.

It is unclear as to whether or not the patriarchy was to blame for the offending tweets from Verso. It is evident though that some women aren’t ready to be erased. There does appear to be some chaos in the intersectionalism of the woke. If one accommodates the trans community by disavowing biological females, do the feminists lose their claim to the woes of being born female?
So you did everything they asked. And more. You prostrated yourself in order to pacify them. And what did you get for all of it? That's right, reduced down to being called a "womb carrier". Strange how this 'inclusion' invariably leads to your own exclusion, isn't it?

It is hard to feel included when being born female is reduced to being labeled by organs that have yet to be medically duplicated for anyone who wishes to call themselves women. Let’s not even start with whether or not biological males can be pregnant.
If I give my wife a piggy back, am I a womb carrier?

Verso had the good sense to delete the womb carrier thread, but the laughs have been had.
Now deleted so here it is for the next time someone says 'that never happens'. pic.twitter.com/QbijUhiSJh

At least one wokeism has been rejected, for the time being. What will they try to redefine next?
