Hey, uh... I'm reading this as somebody who cares about child welfare, and yes, it is a bit sketchy and selfish from a child welfare perspective to intentionally have a baby that won't be breastfed. It doesn't make you an ax murderer, but it does make you somebody who places+

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.

You are literally the one expressing a double standard here (it's "permissible" for a woman not to breastfeed if she has a "medical condition" but impermissible for someone who "naturally" can't breastfeed to raise an infant at all)

I'm increasingly appalled by how reliably you refuse to care about what is best for infants and their mothers. It's really getting alarming. Sociopathic in its dedication.

You understand there's a difference between "what is best" and "what should be allowed"

I'd be very curious to know what their position on vaccinations is, coming from MumsNet and all... Funny how that "best for the baby" stuff suddenly becomes very subjective then.
