However, the man hating feminist is such a stereotype that you'd think they were hanging out on street corners with their cleavers and hacking at cucumbers relentlessly whenever a man walks by.

Hey! I use a cleaver as a bookmark in my copy of the SCUM Manifesto. Don't judge.

I'm not judging. I am on the street corner cleaving the cucumbers every Friday from 11-1.

No, but when has that ever stopped a Maxim reader?

The consensus seems to be that it's a tattoo. I don't know why anyone would get a tattoo of a navel six inches to the right of their navel and then have a navelectomy, but I guess it has something to do with being an actual girl from the actual world.

The sexy hip tattoo is probably the Playboy bunny symbol.

I didn't notice that before. Now I can't stop looking at it and the picture is freaking me out.

+1

either that, or she has 2 navels now, or are they both shadows/flaws in the print?

I thought the concept was annoying! Then--I read the actual TEXT! So stupid it's almost funny.

Is the man-hating feminist smoking? I didn't know that was part of the stereotype.

This.
I was just happy to see that when they "cured" her they got her to quit smoking, too. At least they did something right?

I didn’t realize that feminism was some sort of lifestyle (e.g. non-shaving, non-marrying, non-sex-enjoying) rather than a movement interested in social justice.

Race, class, & gender. Ableism. White hegemonic feminism & colonial legacies. Heteronormativity.
Can you not see that these things--these centuries of oppression--pale in comparison to wearing stilettos and performing other posturings of the male-gaze-idealized femininity?

Do I have to not like Bust now because it was recommended as a reprogramming tool?

This doesn't mean that Bust endorses Maxim. The editors at Maxim wouldn't need the permission of the former to simply mention the magazine by name.

Yeah but if we read Bust, we might be cured. and I don't want to be cured.

JessFive- the egg thing sounds like they only used the cytoplasm from the second woman but still used sperm for actual fertilization.

There is not MUCH conferred in the cytoplasm, I think (Chipmunk where are you!), though that is where the mitochondrial DNA is, and some few random cell specific things?

But if they figure out how to make the egg healthier, they may soon be able to insert a different egg's DNA into a sperm cell and go about fertilization that way, meaning a kid could potentially have 4 parents: 3 moms and a dad, maybe even 4 moms if we are going for the most complicated route possible: 1 surrogate mom to carry, one mom's DNA in egg, one mom's cytoplasm, one mom's DNA for the sperm and the dude to make the sperm.

Who knows though, at some point they might not need the sperm to swim in and be able to do it all with 2 eggs. I'm sure they will get there.

For some reason this article kind of reminds me of the feminist group from the movie PCU. But, I still think that movie is hilarious, so whatever.

Yep, the mitochondria are transmitted via the egg, so the father's mitochondria are generally at a dead end (there are reasons why uniparental inheritance of cytoplasmic elements might be advantageous). The problem with many plants and animals where the embryo grows inside the mother is genomic imprinting. You can't just shove two egg cells together, since some copies of genes are switched off (due to methylation) depending on which parent they came from. You'd end up with some genes where both copies are switched off. They tend to be growth-related, and it's thought that the reason (I'm simplifying here) is that it's in the fathers interest to turn off anything that might slow down the growth of the embryo and in the mother's interest to turn off anything that would speed it up, since she's the one who has to grow the damn thing and needs to make sure it's not sapping all her resources. It's a form of sexual conflict.

I'm gonna guess it's a really terrible Photoshop job a la Photoshop Disasters.
