What Is a Woman? plot

"One man's journey to answer the question of a generation"

What is a woman? It seems like an easy question, but many people in the West don't get the answer. Someone who identifies as a woman? But what does that person identify as? Matt Walsh goes in search of the answer, demolishing some sacred houses along the way.

I was looking forward to this but I was bored.

The subject itself is purely controversial, as in that you are not allowed to talk about it and that is reflected in the documentary. Maybe I've been too busy with the subject but in my eyes it brought nothing new under the sun. It does confirm something I thought and that is that we really do live in a sad world. That many young people or people allow themselves to be converted purely to belong to something, but you actually want friends. It is a kind of Qanon in which many lonely people actually want to belong to some kind of internet community. If you see the word community, you can put a few letters in front of it. For the rest I think you don't have to travel to Africa, that was pure filling. Also, I've seen a few Matt Walsh videos and I can relate to his level-headedness, but he's not really funny. The so-called jokes in this documentary were not funny either. I'm not really entertained.

Matt Walsh could, with some good will, be described as the Michael Moore of right-wing fundamentalists in the US. The structure of this documentary is therefore in many ways reminiscent of a film by the outspoken liberal Moore, but Walsh has one problem: he does not listen at all to people who disagree with him and is only looking for confirmation of his answer to the question in the title. In his eyes, that is clearly a person with breasts, a vagina and the associated genes and hormones. Walsh compares people undergoing gender reassignment surgery to someone willingly sawing off an arm, transgender people to a white man who says he's black, and thinks we shouldn't take kids who question their gender seriously because they also believe in Santa Claus. There's nothing wrong with the question, but if the questioner is as biased as Matt Walsh, it can't be taken seriously at all. A cringe-inducing, shocking film that even suggests that being transgender is all the rage and presents them as freaks. So much for the cradle of modern democracy.

One of the producers of this film is called Boreing, nomen est omen.

Merely tiring people in this 'docu' by Walsh. It is mainly the ultimate dullness that kills What is a Woman. To be honest, I don't find the theme very interesting anyway, and Walsh has the look and intonation of a bored history teacher. He pulls out some geeks from gender studies (they are never far away) and finally comes up with Big Warnings because the World (and Our Children) is going very wrong. At least 3 times I heard someone say in the documentary: 'why do you care?' and that would actually have been a better approach for this film. Even Jordan P. comes to have his say, although I usually like him, especially when he half screams, man. For the rest: not fascinating and the part in Africa was even downright cringeworthy.

In terms of content, there is virtually nothing else to say about What is a Woman; Walsh isn't interested in the answer at all and neither am I.
