Feminism has given women the desire to become men, short of changing their sexual organs.

I only hope they realize that outsourcing their babies to Indian mothers is a temporary solution; eventually, those indians too will have a job, adopt feminism, and probably stop having your babies… Then, may be we’ll outsource human babies to gorilla mothers…all so that women can finally become men.

“A stereotype is a type of logical oversimplification in which all the members of a class or set are considered to be definable by an easily distinguishable set of characteristics.”

Read your comment and the comments by

Your statement suggested that most women in India wallow in poverty and take up prostitution. Where’s the data to back that stupid claim? I suggest you fix your spelling and write clearly so that you don’t come across as a little twat who’s eager to show off his/her internet assembled knowledge. This makes more sense: “Around the world women are more likely than men to be poor, and that has serious implications (access to education, HR, etc) especially in developing nations like India.”

@yamuboy stereotype is assuming that my bieng an australian precludes me from being non white or of non indian descent/extraction. (You really need to study us a bit better) . Ignorance is You assuming I have not lived , worked and travelled in India and therefore know a little of which I speak. But dont let me stop you -go ahead knock yourself out with your borish , and dare I say childlike, soapbox pontifications. Some of us are little more sophisticated than that. Next!

That is totally untrue,many just chose to have fewer children sometimes..You see we have chooses in our lives…In the West….

My wife and I have 7 sons,the last 2 through IVF.
The fertility clinic we used assisted us due to my wife being in her late 40s.

Our twin boys are beautiful….

That’s crazy the birth mother is carrying another couples genetic child,I have never heard of that happening….. That would kill the baby carrying business in India,if that happened and the media got wind of it… That’s why America is a better place to do this,in a America a contract is a contract… My wife carried our twins through IVF,SHE IS 46.. We contracted a 23 year old girl from the mid west to donate her eggs,she was a cute little blonde with blue eyes…. Our twin boys are beautiful.

The birth mother can really keep the child resulting from an ovary that isn’t hers, from a sperm that isn’t her husband’s, just because she gave birth to it?

Moronic law.

Just for the info….the Indian law does not allow a FERTILE/UNMARRIED/GAY (both Men)/couple to hire a surrogate……Also the surrogate should have already have had at least one healthy child and maximum of three…..

Also, the birth mother can keep the child in case she changes her mind in the last minute…….the payment has to be paid in advance……

I think this method is a boon for all infertile couples…..but adoption may be a nobler route for such people……

You may be right, but I don’t see the world the way you do and it’s hard to fully grasp what you’re saying. Again, not saying ur wrong, just that we have very different world outlooks.
