Shame, I spent all my weekend watching "Breaking Bad"
source:Beardolic. I am alone for the weekend, my wife left I do not know where, to see an alleged friend whose I do not know the name , the address, the marital status. I let go even if I found it very perky at the time of the goodbyes. "I'm coming back Monday morning, I'll try to call you," she told me before spinning like a thief. So, I hang out in the apartment like a goy in a synagogue.

Two mothers = a father?
Nothing better illustrates the persistence of the dissymmetry of the sexes than the confrontation of each with the question of procreation. Like everyone else, homosexuals answer this question and, until now, they had no choice but to turn to someone of the other sex.

Kinship and sperm market
Today there is a sperm market and a growing industrial sector in trade. The sperm banks date back to the 1930s and only involved cattle breeding. It will be about twenty years before the idea of creating human sperm banks emerges and another twenty years for the first commercial establishments to appear in the United States (Daniels and Golden, 2004). Currently, in Europe, the market is dominated by Danish companies whose clientele, consisting of couples (heterosexual or same-sex) and single women, is international. The technique of cryopreservation separates in time and in the donor and recipient space. Does this separation coupled with the possibility of selecting the donor from a very wide range of choices result in new ways of representing birth and kinship? To what extent do these representations, which refer to the notion of gene, mark an accentuation of the biological prism whose Euramerican conceptions of kinship are already strongly impregnated (Schneider, 1968)? Should we see in the genetic discourse only an avatar of the “biologisation” of kinship or, conversely, a significant inflection linked to the emergence of an elective kinship and an individual making reproductive choices?
