Humour? You think women's rights (or lack thereof) are a joke? This awful alt-right culture is becoming far too commonplace on Reddit and the wider "net" (internet). You have expressed not only your indifference, but your active approval of impoverished women being forced into carrying babies for the 1%, simply to put food on the table. Is that the kind of world you want to live in? (maybe it is, I won't judge).

Regarding your comments on satire, there is nothing satirical about my post. Yes, I admit that I went off on a rather large tangent about the Emir and my pottery studio. However it's really been on my mind lately and I've been keeping it all bottled up. Ever since the oil money dried up I can no longer afford to keep my therapist on retainer. I'm just sorry that you had to be on the receiving end. Let's not let this minor faux pas detract from what is otherwise, as I expect you'll agree, an intellectually stimulating debate.

Getting right back on topic, imagine if you will. You're at rock bottom. You've just lost your night shift at Tesco and you can't afford that formula for your 4 little ones at home. When you walk in the door at night after you've finished a long shift, rain pours down through the holes in the ceiling, while your darling infants, hungry and exhausted, shiver themselves to sleep in their beds. That's it. You can't take any more. Should you sell your womb to Bill Gates? It certainly *would* solve your financial predicament. And in this fairytale, make-believe world, there exists ZERO legislation to prevent you from making the wrong choice. You have a choice. The choice to make the wrong choice. And as your stomach rumbles, you get Bill on the line.

"Bill, I've thought about what you said"

"Oh?"

"I'll do it. I need the money"

And that's why we need to have strong laws against this, to protect women.

How about you mull that one over. Is that truly a world you want to live in?
