"Woman = adult human female" poster removed from Leeds, because apparently truth is offensive now

Well, well, well, if it isn't the thought police striking again! A poster in Leeds, which had the sheer audacity to display the dictionary definition of "woman," has been yanked down faster than a bad reality TV show gets canceled. Because, you see, in our enlightened times, stating the obvious is now akin to tossing a grenade into a china shop.

The digital poster, created by the campaign group "Standing for Women", made its appearance on a York Road billboard on a seemingly normal October Friday. But who knew that the mere definition of a word could cause such a kerfuffle? It's like we're all living in a world where "1984" was less a warning and more a how-to guide.

Kong Outdoor, the owners of the billboard, found themselves in the eye of the storm. A spokesperson for them innocently said, "We took a booking from an unknown client, unaware of the message behind the advert." Turns out, in today's cancel culture climate, even media agencies need to run background checks on words.

"The advert in itself complied to ASA (Advertising Standards Authority) standards and as such we ran it from yesterday (Friday) morning," they added, which just goes to show standards mean diddly-squat when the offense-ometer goes off the charts. "When we heard the controversy around the message we had it removed immediately until we investigated further, the investigation is ongoing and when we have the full facts we will make a decision," because clearly, we need to dig deep into the scandal of defining the two sexes.

This isn't the first time Standing for Women has tried to stand up for, well, women. Last month, a Liverpool poster was removed with such speed it probably set a new world record for censorship.

But Standing for Women is not backing down. This move in Leeds is 'phase six' of their campaign, which aims to keep the word "woman" meaning exactly what it has for centuries—'adult human female.' They're not just fighting for a word; they're fighting for clarity, for rights, and for the very concept of womanhood in a world that seems to prefer ambiguity over accuracy.

And then there's Rob Wilson from Angels Freedom of Leeds, who's quick to label this campaign as the work of a 'small-minded' few. But it's not about being small-minded; it's about being clear-minded, about recognizing that women's rights are based on biological realities, not on the whim of the current cultural wind.
