Question: What is a woman?
Answer: A woman is not a what. A woman is a who. (A.R.Moxon)

I have noticed that what the birthday boy and his hateful crew do as almost an instinct is reduce a who to a what, and they do it to women in just the same way as they do it to immigrants and anybody else they want to target, and for the same reason, which is to exclude them from their full humanity so that they can be more easily abused. What is a woman? is meant to convey “we will control your gender, and we will be extremely deadly to you if you won’t be controlled.” This control is being established for all women, by the way, not just ones. If you want to establish women as lesser than men, you’re going to need to hold a secure border between who is and who is not a full person, so that you can operationalize the inequality with precision.
