I am actually searching for legal definition of woman and all I can find is 'WOMEN, persons. In its most enlarged sense, this word signifies all the females of the human species; but in a more restricted sense, it means all such females who have arrived at the age of puberty.'
Scientifically this is the case also.
Dictionaries need to be updated also (1 a : a female person : a woman or a girl b : an individual that bears young or produces large usually immobile gametes (as eggs) that are fertilized by small usually motile gametes of a male.= apparently...), and surely the word woman should be done away with entirely if there is not actually a clear definition of what a woman (or man) is anymore?
