Biological women are, some claim, a recently invented social construct. Forget Eve or evolution. The fairer sexโ€™s true origin lies in the late 18th century, when bigoted white male scientists created the idea of binary sex in order to oppress women and racial minorities โ€” at least according to the latest woke โ€œscience.โ€

โ€œBefore the late 18th century, Western science recognized only one sex โ€” the male โ€” and considered the female body an inferior version of it,โ€ Scientific American tweeted. โ€œThe shift historians call the โ€˜two-sex modelโ€™ served mainly to reinforce gender and racial divisions by tying social status to the body.โ€
