FEMINIST GREER ATTACKS ELTON JOHN FOR ‘DECONSTRUCTING MOTHERHOOD’

Feminist commentator Germaine Greer has criticised Elton John for calling his partner David Furnish “mother” of their two sons.

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.”

  3. The boys have two fathers, which is more than a most, and much better than none.

    1. Bull crap. Those two boys will be abused by those two 'ole goat's when they grow up.
