No Confusion Here: Created with Intention

What It Really Means to Be a Woman

What is a woman?

Let’s be honest—there was a time when “What is a woman?” was one of the easiest questions in the world to answer. Kindergarten-level stuff. These days? You ask that question in the wrong room, and suddenly, people are sweating, shifting uncomfortably in their chairs, and calling for a panel of experts to debate it.

It’s wild.

Depending on who you ask, we’re told there are anywhere from 72 to over 100 genders (and counting). New ones seem to pop up weekly, as if humanity is suddenly continuously updating itself like an app. But here’s the thing—there’s no confusion whatsoever on this issue when you go back to the Source. While culture debates, changes its mind, and then changes it again, God’s definition hasn’t budged a single inch. He was clear from the beginning:

“So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.” (Genesis 1:27, KJV)

Male. Female. Two. That’s it.

No drop-down menu. No need for a hundred different terms. Just two. Distinct. Intentional.

Designed by God Himself.

And yet, here we are, watching people in power hesitate to define what a woman is—despite, you know, being women themselves. It’s almost like we’ve traveled back in time 50 years, except instead of fighting for women’s rights, we’re debating whether we exist as a category at all.

And the irony? All of this is happening while culture loudly demands "women's rights." But…women’s rights… for whom, exactly? If a man can be a woman just by saying so, then what exactly are we fighting for? We've gone from securing the right to vote, to own property, to lead in society—all things women have been free to do for decades—to suddenly acting like we can’t even define ourselves without a committee meeting.

At some point, you have to ask—if we’ve reached the level of equality and opportunity where the biggest fight left is whether women even exist, have we not completely lost the plot?

Women Were Created on Purpose, for a Purpose

Genesis 2:18 gives us a closer look at why God created women:

“And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.”

Now, before anybody gets carried away with that, let’s talk about the phrase help meet. Some people hear it and picture a quiet, apron-wearing sidekick, standing behind Adam, ready to fetch his coffee and organize his sock drawer.

Not even close.

The Hebrew term here is ezer kenegdo, and it means something much stronger. Ezer is the same word used to describe God as our helper (Psalm 33:20, Deuteronomy 33:26)—and I think we can all agree that when God helps, it’s not because He’s subservient. It’s because He’s all-powerful. Kenegdo means “corresponding to” or “complementary to.”

Put those together, and what do you get? Women weren’t created as an afterthought or a backup plan. We were designed by God to stand alongside men—different but equal, complementary but not interchangeable. Not optional. Not redundant. And certainly not up for redefinition.

What Happens When We Blur the Lines?

Fast forward to today, and we see policies, movements, and social pressures that attempt to erase the uniqueness of women in the name of “progress.” When biological men start winning women’s sports, taking women’s scholarships, and stepping into spaces meant to protect women, we’re told to be quiet and just go along with it.

But let’s get real for a second—if women are indistinguishable from men, then why have we fought for our rights in the first place? Why did we demand the right to vote, the right to own property, the right to equal opportunities? And if we’re so easily replaceable, why is it that when women step out of society (even for a day), entire industries feel it?

The erasure of women isn’t progress at all—it’s regression. And worse, it’s in direct opposition to the way God designed us.

A Woman is…

So, in case there was any doubt, let’s clear this up:

A woman is not a feeling.
A woman is not a costume or caricature.
A woman is not a label just anyone can just slap on.

A woman is a person created by God as female—from the very beginning, on purpose, with intentional design, distinct from man but equal in value.

No confusion. No debate. No need to consult a panel of experts.

In a world that thrives on confusion, clarity is a tremendous gift. And as women, it’s time to stop letting culture dictate what we are or aren’t. Our identity was settled in Genesis.

So, while the world keeps debating, we’ll be over here thriving in our God-given design.

No confusion necessary.
