    there is something very perverse that something as intimate and giving, as carrying someone else child, is fucking monetized and gig-ified

    At some point these people probably remembered that the surrogates they were pawing over like flea market jewelry were actual real people too.

    And then they obviously forgot that immediately, whether for emotional convenience or detachment from their species. Which is pretty bad, it’s a bad look, but it’s a more charitable assumption than the alternative: that they never once saw their humanity, that they had nothing to forget, and this snippet is an indicator of their entire person. Damn that would be rough if that were true. Not like the bourgeoisie have a track record of doing exactly that.

    Also:

    Getting abandoned as a precocious tiny 30 year old, that must be so hard. I truly understand why she has to be a literal demon threatening to destroy the life of a woman that she almost killed already.

    Spending the equivalent of decades of normal people’s wages to harass a woman and the only issue is that she might not be able pay for her house slave. Venture Capitalists are not human.
