My personal favorite response to that question is “a person who covers their drink when you enter the room”
I’m stealing both of these.
Also trying to workshop::
Oh they don’t have them on your planet?
I like it, but that's like a 1960s sitcom tier insult. It's too cute to infuriate.
They have 1960s sitcom mentality. Wouldn't hurt to give it a try.
how about, "a person who doesn't want to have sex with you."
That doesn't work. I'm sure plenty of queer men would be too disgusted by them to want to have sex with them either.
What about 'I'll ask your mom what she thinks when I see her tonight'?
Better: "I'll ask your dad what she thinks when I see her tonight."
"Someone who chooses the bear over you."
I like "Well, I'm a straight male, so anything that turns me on is a woman, ma'am."
Name totally checks out.
Ooooh, that's so subtle and brilliant, they'll be destroyed for life! Added bonus is it zings for all the alphabet.

They're not honestly curiously asking anything.
They tried to do a gotcha. Badly. And got gotcha'ed for it.
I saw this clip. It was amazing the way that kid just dismisses Charlie Kirk with his response and how he just walked away.
Kirk's face was in shock, cuz he got owned so bad. Mofo couldn't think of anything smart to say except something from another right wing grifter. 🤦
The right wing really capitalized on the left's good faith approach, for a very long time. Now that younger people that grew up on the internet are a much larger component of the left's base, they don't seem to know how to "own us" anymore. We're used to this sea lioning bullshit, and won't put up with it.
Thank you for the context. I never know what the youtube bigots look like.
is this a valid response?
Nah. There are plenty of women who do not make my dick hard. To paraphrase Richard Pryor, I wouldn't fuck Melania Trump with your dick.
I have no idea why anyone wanted to see her naked. Bleah.
Only if you're a himbo on the level of Johnny Bravo.
The ftm equivalent is "What is a man?" And the proper response is "A miserable little pile of secrets".
But enough talk... Have at you!
Alternative responses:
Are you coming on to me?”
I've actually used "I'm flattered, but I'm not into guys, sorry." and when immediately he got pissy and insisted he isn't gay and wasn't asking me out, "It's okay, you don't have to hide who you are, I'm simply not interested." and at that point my patience and certainty they wouldnt try to deck me were out the door, along with myself.
A musical theater performance was probably not the best place for the guy to be attempting to ragebait.
10/10 responses, I'd add in "If you have to ask, maybe you should get out more" which I guess is similar to "Makes sense you wouldn't know"
Your first option is best. Insulting comeback that isn't open-ended. It ends it so you can move on. The other options are asking for a response, including the OP one.
You could always go jeopardy style of "what is someone who doesn't want to sleep with you"
Is the answer not “A miserable little pile of secrets”?
Then men are no different.
Personally I think the "woke" definition of a woman (if there even is one) is much more straightforward than the alternative. This idea that the left "can't define a woman" is absurd projection - the very people who ask this question are the ones who can't define it without having to make 100s of exceptions.
yep "someone who identifies as a woman" doesn't need to have caveats. every biological argument has to have many.
Language is an imperfect medium with inherent limitations, intended to convey thoughts from the mind of one person to another. Thus, context is critical. The tragedy of humans not being telepathic.
A large portion of this argument is between two factions trying to have a complex discussion regarding at least four different things using only two words; male and female. The discussion however expands to biology, stereotypes, gender norms, rights, etc.
To me, everyone arguing is a moron for trying to have a discussion without first agreeing on axioms and vocabulary. Male and female are not enough words for a discussion involving this many variables.
It's like, hey, please reconcile general relativity, quantum mechanics, and metaphysics using only X and Y. It just screams absurdity.
You might want to look at Wittgenstein.
In his early work he went hard on this approach, and insisted that "hey philosophy is dumb", just agree on the definitions and then chase through the implications.
In his later work he realised that this is impossible. Words have contextual meaning that is revealed by their usage and you can't nail down full and complete definitions in advance.
What you're talking about absolutely can and will never work. We have tried it and seen it fail.
It isn't for me to define, and there are more important things in life to focus on.
A "woman" is a label. It's a social construct.
As such, while you and I may have some idea of what we think a woman is, it's not really something that can be given a concrete definition the way these people seem to think it needs.
The meta of gender is simply the way we see eachother and not something that can be measured. It's felt.
It's a lot like trying to build a concrete definition for intelligence. What is intelligence? How can it be measured? IQ tests are one way, but they're pretty much universally regarded as inaccurate at best.
Whatever intelligence is, these rage baiters don't have it.
Reminds me of this https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/master-debater-both-guy
Here is the answer to that question:
Until recently, a woman was defined as someone who was born a biological female.
Now, as definitions change, a woman is defined as a person who identifies with the role of the previous definition of woman.
Language is descriptive, not prescriptive.
That's not what the definition has changed to. Women can be women without identifying with that traditional role. A woman is someone who identifies as a woman. I am a woman, and I certainly don't identify with the role of a traditional woman.
"I'll take someone who wouldn't talk to you if they were trapped in an elevator with you for $500 Alex."
In my experience it's so they can listen to exactly nothing you say in response and then say "oh you've totally been brainwashed" before refuting points I never even came close to making.
"Someone you've never had consensual sex with."
