What Sisterhood? I don't have sisters
Btw, some feminists also argue that there's no such thing as maternal instinct, and the nurturing urge emerges when there's actually some creature to nurture, so it's not originally there to start with. I don't know if it's there or not, but it hasn't surfaced in me yet.
Which, if you argue that woman is a human being that has an intrinsic maternal instinct, makes me a no-woman. It's all a matter of definition really.
There's the bird, for example, when I'm at home and I see it's chirping there for food, I can't leave it without giving it food. But that's not gender-specific, I'm pretty sure men would do the same.
