Thanks for the comment, erminia. A bit queer if you ask me.
Yes, male pregnancy would currently be considered in patriarchal
terms a disease, fatal in the end to the male of the species. The
fascist alternative of eugenic maternal pathogenesis would be desired
within a patriarchal paradigm. I have been researching the medical
texts. An ectopic pregnancy would lead to fatal internal bleeding
once the placenta let go of the blood vessels in the man's tummy. I
have come across one other case, an Indian man who became pregnant
and gave birth after drinking special water, some two thousand years
ago. (An immaculate conception.) As a result of my research I have
decided (as I told the D&G list, so it must be understood in
Deleuze-Guattarian philosophical terms) to give up being a poet and
novelist and become a genetic engineer. I am going to remove the RNA
strands from the HIV retro-virus and using another genetically
engineered virus infect the RNA deficient HIV retrovirus with RNA
strands from human totipotent stem cells. The result: gay men and
injecting drug users will become pregnant by viral contagion. Based
on mathematical modeling this is quite possible. (Did I tell you I
failed math at university?)
I can just remember that Brecht poem about the young boy's cherry, in
English translation smuggled across borders of language, as Son of
Genet, another immaculate conception, who has recently come back to
life, would say. Smuggled across the borders of a queen's vernacular,
sounds like Brecht don't care if the young man steals a cherry from
his tree. I have heard that Brecht mixed with queens and had a
pre-Stalinist line on gay rights. As Gilles observed of that S&M
philosophical faggot, Michel, he was a terrible joker. Ex-Trotskyist
Marxist-Leninist gay rights faggots are even worst! (I had to leave
the Party for discipline reasons, they had a line that said that we
couldn't publish without clearance from the Central Committee. No
good for a poet, although they give nice reviews.)
many joyous times, Chris Jones.
