One way to look at this is that the luxury scale is moving downstream to the pre natal, the gestational. When everyone can run the card to get the $5k stroller, how else are you supposed to flex? Not sure why Ted’s asking us to think about the surrogate here. You aren’t supposed to. She’s an animal, a breed mare. A nameless, faceless, disposable person.

Concerning!! But really, imo this is the disempowerment of women. A society that says pregnancy is a negative, will involve suffering and potentially harm your career so you should outsource that to someone else, is just so twisted. Without even getting into the class stuff, it turns parenting into a service, neglecting the biological and psychological bonds formed during pregnancy.

For a culture that values 'experiences' it's odd that arguably one of the most meaningful and memorable experiences is being scorned.
