>For
the entire course of human history, men have nursed profound, troubling
doubts about the fundamental question of whether or not they were
fathers to their own children; women, by contrast, usually enjoyed a
reasonable level of certainty about the matter.
>Now,
a cotton-wool swab with a bit of saliva, plus a small fee, less than
£200, can settle the matter. At a stroke, the one thing that women had
going for them has been taken away, the one respect in which they had
the last laugh over their husbands and lovers. DNA tests are an
anti-feminist appliance of science, a change in the balance of power
between the sexes that we’ve hardly come to terms with.
>By
contrast, the old situation, in which women presented men with a child,
and the man either did the decent thing and offered support, or made a
run for it, allowed women a certain leeway.
>Uncertainty allows mothers to select for their children the father who would be best for them.
>The
point is that paternity was ambiguous and it was effectively up to the
mother to name her child’s father, or not. Many men have, of course,
ended up raising children who were not genetically their own, but
really, does it matter? You can feel quite as much tenderness for a
child you mistakenly think to be yours as for one who is.
wtf
Feminists actually think like that?
Really fucking scary if you ask me |
