All of which requires a woman, and one who has either recently given birth or is about to. Any other solution requires a female from another mamalian species; at no point is a male required.
Biology 101, mammalian infants are dependant on their mothers, in some species the mother is supported by the father, in others not. Beskar's quoting of Lennon is illuminating, burried in those lyrics is the opinion that to be "real" is to conform to a mascaline standard; all the things he rails against are feminine. The song doesn't place any value on women for what they are; it requires them to be something else in order to be valued.You really do seem to have a bit of a biological-mechanist take on this stuff you know.
Femenism trys to fit women into a man's world; instead of trying to change the world to value and accomodate women. This is why, increasingly, it seems to have failed in it's objective. Women do't want high pay or important jobs as much as men, many women prefer shorter working hours and less pay in order to spend more time with their family.
There was an article in the Times (I think) which talked about the experiences of the first and second generation "working women" many of whom admitted to being miserable being "successful" but away from their families. It also covered a number of women who went into traditinally "masculine" jobs and ultimately decided they'd be happier teaching their specialisation than working it.
That's another thing, this aspect of the Feminist movement places too much value on "success" in terms of the ability to accumulate resources. A measure I consider largely irrelevant for both sexes.
