Thank you kindly for the link. Just wish I had said 'king, queen, or ruler' of denial.
ReplyDeleteRight. Gender is just a social construct. And parts have nothing to do with it. Yeah...
ReplyDeletePundette, isn't it amazing how the rise of the Contraceptive Culture has allowed people to ignore -- nearly even to forget -- the reproductive aspect of sex?
ReplyDeleteWhen you use the term "birth canal," it is like a revelation to many people: You mean that thing is an exit?
When Mrs. Other McCain gave birth to our first child, and was nursing for the first time, I stared (with tears in my eyes, of course) and had this weird thought: Those aren't merely ornamental.
There is a perversity in the extent to which our culture ignores the natural purpose of sex.
Excellent point. And the natural consequences of sex - pregnancy, child birth, and lactation - are reality-muggers of the first degree. In a good way.
ReplyDeleteThat's why it astounds me that a woman who has gone through these experiences can pretend that her identity as a female is a 'construct.'
I'm more of a male/female kind of guy myself, but the social constructionists tend to make a distinction between sex and gender, with the former being relegated to two types--male and female. The latter can have any number of types, male, female, in-between, etc.
ReplyDeleteIf she is the queen of denial, shouldn't we be calling her Cleopatra?
ReplyDeleteSpot-on observation, Pundette. Also, by claiming gender is a 'social construct', one neatly eliminates God from the miraculous equation of reproduction and birth. Narcissistic idiots.
