his own desire to have children above the biological optimum for babies and children. The fact that feminism is pointing this out to you, a gay man, is an exact example of why women often go back to the importance of breastfeeding and why men are perhaps not great feminists.

Hi Pam. My mum could never breastfeed because of a prior operation she'd has as a teen and knew this when she became pregnant with us. She put her own desire over my biological optimum. Is she a shit woman and not a great feminist?

No, because according to your own explanation, you she had a medical condition that prevented her from being able to nurse. This isn't some insane standard people have. But surrogacy is dangerous and putting mother and baby through that for a designer (ME ME ME) baby is gross.

I'm not saying messed up things. I'm advocating for an idea of what it means to have a child that don't screw over mother and baby just because people have double standards when it comes to men and women and what's allowable or possible to do to each of them.

I don’t understand why you’re talking about “mother and baby” like the two must go together. This is very sad. If you were worried about kids that needed to be adopted, you could just shit on *anyone* who preferred having “their own” kids you know. At least it’d be consistent.

Wait, do you think they have test tube babies from start to finish? Or do you not know how humans evolved pregnancy-wise, with the "fourth trimester" and whatnot, and all the follow-on effects of nursing or not?

People have their own kids for a ton of reasons, but when you choose expensive medical intervention to have a child, the moral stakes go up exponentially. Naturally having kids and expensive and risky, consequential medical intervention to have kids are not the same thing.

Again this is a textbook demonstration of what Foucault meant by "biopower" This whole idea that because something is "natural" and therefore easy to do it must make it a better choice, it's what God wanted me to do
