Bender, Motherfu****

Women are nothing more than a piece of clay, molded and shaped by a man. This is one of the subversive messages in Aimee Bender’s Motherfucker. When reading this story, I question certain incidents, or events that would awake a feminists ‘social awareness’. The protagonist named Motherfucker is only attracted to woman with children. He appeals to the woman as charming, confident, with a mysterious personality. After he seduces the actress and makes love to her, she becomes his creation. A feminist perspective on this subversive message can only explain a sexual strength over the women.
The women in this story are not randomly selected. The protagonist is selective. He is looking for a mother with a baby. This is enough information to portray women who are very naïve and gullible, who are very easy to arouse because they are sexually deprived. It isn’t right that a woman should be portrayed as a desperate being, because she has a child. The author/narrator never mentions any facts of these woman belonging to other man. If she does belong to another man, the subject her would be adultery. If the protagonist has slept with the single mothers, then, there is a bigger picture, such as ‘woman for procreation ONLY’! If the spouse to the mothers is missing, it appears as if the women are there only for sex, and nothing more, and that they reason on a sexual level.
