Probably defined back when women were not considered full human beings.

My wife was looking at Facebook last night and, apparently, someone had linked to news article that said some official body of Saudi lawyers proclaimed that legally, females are mammals but not human.

Weird shiz.

WNDR assumes however all responsibility for the satirical nature of its articles and for the fictional nature of their content. All characters appearing in the articles in this website – even those based on real people – are entirely fictional and any resemblance between them and any persons, living, dead, or undead is purely a miracle.

Israeli propaganda.

It is satirical news, but they tell everyone it is.

Was it this one?

https://worldnewsdailyreport.com/sa...tists-admits-women-are-mammals-yet-not-human/

Because:
World News Daily Report

"Straddling the line of fake news and the occasional seed of truth is World News Daily Report. By cobbling together misattributed stolen photographs (and often using extant, long-circulating rumors), World News Daily Report has published several viral claims often preying upon readers’ religious beliefs, including hoaxes about a newly-discovered eyewitness account of Jesus’ miracles, an ancient rumor about chariot wheels found at the bottom of the Red Sea, and a very old yarn about the discovery of giant skeletons reworked as the tale of a coverup perpetrated by the Smithsonian Institution. However, World News Daily Report frequently branches out to science-based fakery, including japes about the destruction of the world’s oldest tree and another about the discovery of a Megalodon shark in Pakistan.

Political conspiracy is another favored topic of World News Daily Report, evidenced by articles claiming that a CIA agent confessed to killing Marilyn Monroe and that Yoko Ono disclosed she once had an intimate partnering with Hillary Clinton."

Some folks will truly believe just about anything.

With those Saudi-style burkas, how could they tell?
