Feminist theorist and author Germaine Greer said that the concept of motherhood has been “emptied out” and is “gone” in a lecture on women’s progress at the Hay Literary Festival in Wales on May 23.
The outspoken Australian feminist, who once compared motherhood to captivity, critiqued the “concept” of motherhood at a time in which in vitro fertilization (IVF) has become increasingly popular. […]
Greer also voiced her disapproval of singer/songwriter Elton John naming his same-sex “wife” David Furnish as the “mother” on their sons’ birth certificates.
“Sir Elton John and his ‘wife,’ David Furnish, have entered on the birth certificates of their two sons [that] David Furnish is the mother…That’ll give you an idea of how the concept of ‘motherhood’ is emptied out. It’s gone. It’s been deconstructed,” the 76-year-old Greer said. …

Gee, I’m sorry you feel this way you old bag.
Whatever it means after 50 years of Progressive destruction of the concept of Motherhood, Germaine, it can't be unscrambled now.
Only for the ungodly, who are as empty of meaning as “the chaff that the wind drives away.”
Lamenting the Brave New World that she helped create?
yeah, she might drop dead soon. that would be a shame. and what do even say to two gay men appointing one of them as the mother?
Germaine is one of the most intelligent feminists on the scene. Has she been wrong in the past? Yes. Is she right on this? YES! I’ve read what she has to say on this subject and she is on target. She matches up with conservatives and some radical feminists who know that this is a major part of the war on women.
So, females are nothing but sex objects now?
It's amazing how the monster egos of idiots like Greer motivate them to make these laughable "end-of-story" pronouncements that are so easily proven false.
She is not sane. The insane people are in control. They are winning the culture war. The sane like us are being dictated to by the insane. How did this ever get started?
Is that Brian Wilson’s grade school picture?
That’s news to my wife and the mother of my children.
Evolution wins.
Did you bother to read what she wrote? Or, since she’s insane, you agree that Elton John’s...partner...is a mother? A biological mother? Truly, who is insane?
Who does she think she is? Yul Brenner as Pharoah?
“So let it be written, so let it be done”
Look, we already have one delusional nutcase running the US, I don’t need to listen to another delusional nutcase flogging her pet peeves.
Enough of this nonsense.
I have no idea whether she said that. My point is: she’s right on this issue. Are you?
