The priest, the doctor and Mastroianni. The repetitive myth of the pregnant male

Repetitive as humanity is in its fantasies, there is nothing so unusual that it cannot flash in the dark of the mind the flare of a déjà-vu, or – as in this case – a pyrotechnic tric-trac of déjà -vu concatenated. When on my iPhone, in the spring of last year, peeped the pregnant man inclusive emoji, I knew I'd seen that image somewhere before, but I couldn't remember where. Certainly I had seen it on a May 2021 Espresso cover designed by Fumettibrutti in which a bearded silhouette held in his hands, under the scars of a double mastectomy, a belly with the inscription "Diversity is richness". OK, but first? Where had I stumbled upon it? Of course, it had to be there 1994 comedy with Arnold Schwarzenegger, “Junior,” in which he implants a fertilized egg to test the effectiveness of an experimental drug. Eureka! Yet the bright bursts of déjà-vu showed no signs of stopping.
