Definition of a Woman: Dictionary


Well I thought I'd put in definitions of woman...Im shocked and mortified...I think "domestic employee" is REDICULOUS and am glad I found this~The bing dictionary should be appalled. Also, we have more definitions and I hope you like them. This in no way defines a woman but I thought it was interesting...Perhaps this is WHY women fight so hard or dont? STRUGGLE!
