Re: Guys, keep an eye on her, she will be back on the market soon - 12 months ago

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) has answered the question “what is a woman,” but her answer has caused a bit of a stir. At a Georgia Republican Assembly endorsement convention in Newnan, Georgia over the weekend, the controversial Republican defined women by referring to them as the “weaker sex.” “I’m going to tell you right now what is a woman,” the congresswoman said. �

According to British health leaders, every hospital in the UK is currently under significant pressure, as a new Covid-19 surge is proving to
