Dear 10,000 Stars,
The LW does not list the specifics of her husband's reservations except to say that he is concerned about the "emotional" and "physical" impact. Rather than a patriarchal, testosterone-fueled desire to dominate the body of his female, it is far more likely he has legitimate concerns about a post 40s pregnancy and the complications that often arise from surrogacy. There is plenty of anecdotal evidence to support both fears. Isn't that sort of informed counsel appropriate for a loving partner? Rather than consider this more likely scenario, you acusse someone, with little supporting evidence, of an ugly desire to control and brutalize his wife into submission. Isn't reckless, angry and hostile finger-pointing the sort of behaviour men are often accused of? Are you really male and you just won't to embarrass women with your thoughtless post?
