I watched Matt Walsh's documentary film "What is a Woman?" last year and found it to be insightful, important, and enraging. Recently, the groundbreaking film was made available through Twitter outside of The Daily Wire's paywall, with nearly 200 million views as of the publication of this article.
After viewing the film a second time (which I greatly suggest you do), it struck me just how very important the overarching civilizational issue the mere title of the film presents and exposes.
It’s the movie they really don’t want you to see: #WhatIsAWoman?

Don't get me wrong, seeing doctors and academics deny the basic reality of biological sex and chromosomal science is maddening. Seeing the victims of legal genital mutilation and chemical castration lament how they were manipulated into "curing" their psychological conditions with surgical procedures that look like medieval torture was heartbreaking.
But, the most fundamental societal challenges Western Civilization faces that are exposed in the overarching premise of the film are revealed in the film's simple title.
The educated elites' refusal to even acknowledge the validity of the question, let alone attempt to answer it, pulled back the curtain on how the political and cultural left in our country.
The desire to force a re-definition of the term "woman" into an undefined, subjective feeling exposes the very real and tyrannical danger this movement poses – beyond how it endangers our children and the safety of our wives, sisters, and daughters.
The left demands that the millennia-old understanding of male and female distinctions be thrown out the window and replaced with... well... they can't tell you exactly what it is replaced with, just that what we've all understood biologically until about half a minute ago is bigoted and evil.
The tyranny begins with the insistence on changing our language. She no longer means "she." Man no longer means "man." If you use the correct word to properly and accurately describe an individual who has not subjectively reimagined themselves as something other than the objective reality of their biological sex, you are to be reprimanded, isolated, and, if possible, destroyed.
Each individual has their own revealed knowledge of which word and pronoun properly defines their identity, and you are not allowed to use your own observational skills, reason, and logic to articulate what your eyes and brain tell you is reality. You will be forced to inaccurately deceive yourself and all those around you with a lie to accommodate that individual's idiosyncratic demands or else.
That is the very definition of tyranny, and it's becoming mainstream.
Beyond the totalitarian language demands (which are civilization-destroying in their own right), the very understanding of biological reality must now be redefined, if not outright denied.
The refusal of doctors, professors, and philosophers to even attempt to answer the film's titular question is enough to throw our civilization's forward advancements back several thousands of years. Walsh's decision to visit a primitive tribe in undeveloped Africa to tackle the question your random Ph.D. or Supreme Court Justice refuses to answer reveals exactly how destructive this issue really is.
The Maasai tribesmen's delight in ridiculing the fundamental basic premise of the question tells you what is on the verge of being undone if the intellectual left has its way.
Redefining fundamental words and realigning basic scientific norms to conform to unfounded and whimsical new notions of reality have the same effect on our society that the misguided and well-funded surgeons have when mutilating perfect, healthy young bodies when providing so-called "gender-affirming care."
While the world is watching Bud Light's market share spiral into oblivion, they're not noticing our civilization doing the exact same nose dive.
"What is a Woman?" is beyond important; it's essential. Not just for what the film reveals but for the tyrannical cultural decay its unanswered title portends.
