As fertility science becomes more advanced and cheaper I worry about the creation of a surrogate underclass and the faux liberation of wealthy women. Allow me to explain.
Rich women who are actors or ceos or celebrities often use surrogates to have children so they can keep working, not risk their physical health and appearance, or overcome infertility. Kim Kardashian, Rebel Wilson, Tyra Banks, Elizabeth Banks, Nicole Kidman, and Lucy Lui are all examples of wealthy women who have used surrogates.
Reproductive technology which allows for surrogacy will become more accessible to middle class women. If we reach a culture where it becomes the norm for an upper middle class/middle class woman who wants children to hire a surrogate so that her professional life will not be impacted, we will see an increase of women with more social and economic influence. Pregnancy is a lot of work, after all, and affects how a woman is able to participate in her career and may be seen as a liability on that basis. The women of the upper middle class will be able to participate more in their careers, and this may create an illusion of women’s liberation.
However this isn’t possible without creating a underclass of surrogate women. Upper middle class women will have their freedom from pregnancy only because the burden will have been pushed to the less privileged women. If the surrogacy market expands in this way, more underprivileged women will be dependent on receiving a paycheck from their agency by carrying pregnancies. The ability of these women to have their own careers based on their interests and desires for themselves and the world will be hindered by the physical toll of pregnancy.
This division between women who buy the pregnancy and the women who carry the pregnancy would likely be along lines of race, and nationality which intersect heavily with class. Women aren’t liberated until all women are liberated.
This isn’t certainly going to happen on a large scale, but it’s a possible future I believe must be avoided.

when amber heard was sued for publishing an article in which she didnt even name her abuser, a total of like 3 people were alarmed about womens/survivors right to free speech. Oh but now some incestuous rape simulator games were taken down so we have to have a society-wide crash out about censorship. shows what the priorities are

I love public transit improving it is a feminist issue….i do however hate leftist men who make fun of women for being scared of public transportation given the lack of consequences for men who sexually harass and assault women on these buses and trains.
Like ok 6’2 left bro. I bet going on the subway ISNT every scary for you. it is a different experience perhaps for a 5’0 mother with toddlers in tow.
It’s so interesting how leftist men pride themselves on intersectionality, but rarely consider how being female could impact an experience.
Anyways 😍😍men who sexually harass/assault women on the metro should be given an immediate lifetime ban from using the system

Some fun facts about St Hildegard of Bingen:
She wrote the first morality play
She also wrote so much music and poetry, much of which you can still listen to online
She had chronic illnesses and chronic pain and might have also had chronic migraines (disabled queen)
She describes humanity as inherently fragile, weak, sickly and dependent on each other and God—in other words, she makes it so that humanity’s inherent default condition is disabled (rather than able bodied/minded as modern society suggests) and THEN she adds on that humanity’s inherent default condition is union with Love itself (God) and with the earth and nature
She wrote medical textbooks of herbal medicines, some of which are still viable
She also has a cookie recipe you can find online that I plan on making soon
She might have been gay, jury’s out on whether her feelings for Richardis were motherly, platonic or romantic, but she fully raised hell when Richardis left the abbey and seems genuinely heartbroken at the loss, and describes Richardis with a lotttt of affection.

half of the people arguing against the uk online safety act haven’t been in a Highschool in years. Sure, you’re 40 and watch porn and don’t want to give your id up, fine whatever. But teenage boys with porn addictions is a genuine issue.
I’m going to be a junior in high school this year, I still have two years left, and by this point I’ve already seen three different boys jerking off in the back of classrooms. Earlier during my sophomore year, around march or April, a guy got caught ai generating videos of his female classmates and jerking off to them in class.
If this isn’t porn addiction, I’m not sure what else to call it. Teenage boys have literally nothing on their minds besides porn by this point. Even the way I see them talking to my female classmates is weird and shows signs of degeneracy. And it’s every single one of them.
Teenage boys with access to porn always end up with terrible porn addictions that they make everyone else’s problem. Just because you want to watch porn without identification shouldn’t mean that I have to go to school with people that jerk off while staring at my friends, their phones open to hentai.
I know there are issues with the ban, and things like Wikipedia are also being censored, which I don’t think is a great thing, but as long as porn is being taken away from teenage boys I’m grateful.

“Pornography is to sex as McDonald’s is to food. Often in America, when you give a talk like this, they accuse you of being anti-sex. Have you heard that term? ‘If you’re against pornography, you’re against sex.’ So let me ask you a question: if I had come here today to talk about the fast food industry, to talk about how it causes obesity, how it destroys the environment, would anyone accuse me of being anti-eating? You would all understand that I was [against] the industry. So why, when I criticize pornography, do I suddenly become anti-sex, as if pornography is sex?”
— Gail Dines, How Porn Creates the John: Porn, Trafficking, and the Social Construction of Masculinity

Babytrapping a man isn't real. You literally cannot babytrap a man. If he decided not to wear a condom, to cum into a woman what did he expect would happen? Even if she lied about birth control pills, everyone knows there is always a chance of them not working anyway, or for her to forget a day. Seriously? I'm so tired of this myth. The only ones who can babytrap are males through stealthing(rape), because only THEIR orgasm can result in pregnancy!! 100% of pregnancies are their doing. Babytrapping is just a rumour spread so that men can avoid the responsibility of unprotected sex. Yet again blaming the women for their faults. It's pathetic honestly. They're always projecting.

in barbieland, where everything was perfect for women, men were safe. they didn't suffer, they took full part in society, they just weren't the "main characters". but when Barbieland was captured by men, women were instantly in danger. they began to be held for service and objectified.
the authors conveyed the essence very well and clearly, which not everyone understood

The mom who has to change their adult child's diapers everyday and tread carefully lest her 6 foot son get violent and kill her should have more say about autism than you who requires no special care, gets along just fine socially, and lack an actual diagnosis.
