We don’t have to deny parental instincts, no. But like I find most gender stereotypes destructive, I find the binarity of „motherly“ and „fatherly“ instincts very conservative. Also it’s a way of romanticizing „I’m the main carer, as most women are, and therefore don’t look at my child like some distant relative, like my partner does, but from my partner it’s „fAtHeRlY InStInCt“.„
She should think into this though. Everyone should.
She might be bi but she’s in a heterosexual relationship with a man and has a child with him . You are reading far too much it.
Me too, she’s spent years not showing her and all of a sudden she is? I wonder why
It seems to be only from certain angles where you can't see her face full on. I think that's quite a nice compromise actually.
She has responded to a comment questioning it and she said "no I only show images where you don't get a clear view" - but I feel like the first photo from the set is fairly clear, even if she is looking down...
Don't be daft!
I try to, promised! But I still stand with my opinion: „fatherly instincts“ is just a way of romanticizing and excusing absent fathering.
What are you on about? Every single human being and animal on this planet has a mother and a father. This isn't "cis-het privilege" or whatever po-mo blue-hair nonsense you might want to subscribe to. Motherly and fatherly instincts aren't homophobic. That sort of stuff makes an absolute mockery of the LGB community (of which I'm a member) and turns people against us.
Also, stating only the combination of „fatherly“ and „motherly“ instincts as „sacred“ is homophobic and a statement against reproductive rights of homosexual people.
No reason for getting so aggressive?
As I said, I stand by my opinion. Whatever. Back to Keira.
Biologically speaking, yes they obviously do. They may not all have the motherly or fatherly instincts that Kiera was referencing but that actually just proves her point and has nothing to do with the gender stereotypes you're projecting onto her post.
