Now I don’t know why Germaine Greer is so surprised …
Speaking at the Hay Literary Festival, Greer accused the men of “deconstructing motherhood”, criticising them for the fact that Furnish was listed as mother on their children’s birth certificates.
“Sometimes I think that really the problem is the concept of motherhood, which we can’t give any real structure to,” she said.
“Sir Elton John and his ‘wife’ David Furnish have entered on the birth certificate of their two sons that David Furnish is the mother. I’m sorry. That will give you an idea of how the concept of motherhood has emptied out. It’s gone, it’s been deconstructed.”
The Express says the couple’s children were born with the help of IVF treatment and share the same surrogate mother, who John and Furnish claim they “love like a sister”.
However, Greer, who wrote The Female Eunuch, also criticised IVF: “We now have a ‘genetic’ mother, who supplies eggs.
“It depends entirely on where she is if she is going to be allowed to know what happens to the eggs. And women tend to care. An egg is not a sperm, we do not produce 400 million of them in one go. One miserable little egg pops every month.
“Then they give you follicle stimulating hormones and you have seventeen or something [eggs] and they give you cut price IVF and distribute the rest of your eggs where they see fit. In some places you are allowed to know what happens to them, in other places you are not.”
She added: “What you get is a reduced bill for IVF because a child is being born by the people involved using your eggs.
“I’m sorry. Did we talk about this? Did we sit down and talk about what eggs mean to women?”
Contemporary feminist is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Left and a driving tenet of it is the obliteration of gender. The whole push for so-called same-sex marriage is predicated on making mothers and fathers irrelevant.
And now Greer — whose 1970 book, The Female Eunuch, was full of misandry and descriptions of women as oppressed ‘castrated males’ — believes motherhood is something special? Something unique to the female sex?
Stacy McCain has written a whole book on radical feminism, but nothing evokes as much schadenfreude as watching a radical Leftist have a come-to-Jesus moment.

You need to start a feminists have no one to blame but themselves tag.
Seems like we’re getting closer and closer to Huxley’s hatcheries. And why not? After all, we’ve already got sexplay for a couple generations’ worth of arrested adolescents.
How does that go? Something, something bed, something, something in it.
I’ll have to ask the Gods of the Copybook Headings.
good bye yellow brick road
Dunno if it’s come to Jesus or “you wicked men have no business appropriating our stuff.”
Kinda like the RadFem antipathy to trannies.
There’s an easy way to find out. Poke her with the her body her choice stick and see what happens.
Just heard Limbaugh hit the same point Darleen made in the original post; i.e. you can’t declare motherhood to be something extrinsic to the female sex and then bitch about it when people take you at your word.
Oh…they can bitch about it. Hell, all they do is bitch and bitch and bitch. In fact, I would offer that, like the bitterly bickering couple that stays married for fifty years, deep down, they like it.
Nihilism brings out the bitch in every person who lets it make a home in his or her Soul.

For consistency, a female impersonator should be regarded the same light as “blackface”.
BG, don’t most female impersonators tend to be ghey? I believe that the ghey card trumps the girl card, so that won’t/can’t happen.
I bet Al Jolson was a little gay ;-)
Interestingly, a lot of female impersonators are black. Flip Wilson, Martin, Tyler Perry, to name a few.
Levon wears his war wound like a crown
He calls his child Jesus
‘Cause he likes the name
And he sends him to the finest school in town
Levon, Levon likes his money
He makes a lot they say
Spend his days counting
In a garage by the motorway
He was born a pauper to a pawn on a Christmas day
When the New York Times said God is dead
And the war’s begun
Alvin Tostig has a son today
And he shall be Levon
And he shall be a good man
And he shall be Levon
In tradition with the family plan
And he shall be Levon
And he shall be a good man
He shall be Levon
Levon sells cartoon balloons in town
His family business thrives
Jesus blows up balloons all day
Sits on the porch swing watching them fly
And Jesus, he wants to go to Venus
Leaving Levon far behind
Take a balloon and go sailing
While Levon, Levon slowly dies

Nature doesn’t give an IOU for a slightly used rat’s ass what self anointed literati vanity twerps want to deconstruct and it probably never will.
The gods of the copy book headings are not optional or fungible. They come and a broken fuzzy confusing lexicon won’t slow them down at all.

We can barely keep the level of tech we have now going. Can’t have healthy eloi without morlocks.
