Define: Woman Update

So, my friend Preston has suggested that the definition: "Adult female human being." I like this definition, and I don't see anything particularly wrong with this. However, it is on the biological side of things and biology isn't particularly interesting to me. (Unless, of course, we are talking about the brain and how it works. And, really, not so much the brain, just the bits of the brain required for speech production and reception.)

What I am curious about are sociological definitions. Particularly, people's working definitions. How do we define the big things that end up acting as frames. I'm curious. So, very, very curious.


So, seriously...how do you define "woman"?
