Them Before Us

"I work in labor and delivery. I've seen what surrogacy does to mothers and babies with my own eyes. I've worked this unit long enough to have watched our culture change in real time. These two stories, drawn from different seasons of my career, say everything about that change. I don't think you'll need me to explain the double standard; you'll see it."

Gay man admits that surrogacy and Solo or same-sex partnered men procuring children is based on the belief that women are irrelevant:

"Tbh, they just don't like the idea that mother and wife can be irrelevant to human society under certain circumstances, while few have the balls to admit it."

Why is it that “mama” (or some version of it) shows up in nearly every language on earth? Chinese, Arabic, and Spanish. Cultures separated by continents, histories, and entirely different linguistic families, and yet they all landed on the same sound for the same person? “Ma” is one of the very first sounds a baby can make. It’s the natural position of the mouth during nursing. Long before a child understands words, he forms that sound. And who answers? Across time, across cultures, across civilizations, it is the woman who carried him, the woman whose body he knows. Humanity didn’t invent “mama.” We recognized it. - Katy Faust
