See, your reading comprehension really does desperately need work... nowhere did I defend my own commodification, I’m simply correcting you on the assumption that it’s always illegal to do so. Please, god, TRY to understand. This isn’t hard. This is very, very basic shit. This is basically like trying to explain…

oh my god, jezebel comments section is a fucking cesspool of shitty white feminists, and i say this as a long-time jezebel reader (because it’s one of the few sites not blocked by work’s internet filter. so weird.)

Hon, I’m not discussing the reasons that organ sale is illegal in the US. I’m saying that when you claim it’s illegal to sell any part of yourself, you’re flat out wrong on so many levels that it’s fucking ridiculous. Bless your heart, you’re so fucking stupid.

You sure can, honey. As I said, outside the US I could sell a fucking kidney if I wanted to. It’s a big fucking planet. Work on your reading comprehension.

Bullshit. I can go sell plasma right now if I want to. I sell myself every day when I rent out my precious time to a company for 8+ hours of labor. If I want to strip for extra money, I can do that too. If I were a man with functional reproductive organs, I could sell my sperm. If I had had the option when I was…

No. It is not “literal slavery”. Women voluntarily choose this, unlike slaves who are captured and held against their will. Women who choose to do this are well compensated, unlike slaves who... aren’t compensated. I can’t fucking believe I have to spell this shit out for someone in the year 2017, but for fuck’s…

Oh, apparently many people here ARE penis hat people. Cue the most massive eyeroll from me at all the basic folks here choosing to die on the hill of STEREOTYPICAL BACHELORETTE PARTIES ARE WONDERFUL AND AWESOME ALL THE TIME BY DEFAULT AND HOW DARE YOU MAKE ME THINK ABOUT ANY OF IT, YOU HATEFUL BITCH, which... I’m…

But I don’t see any gleeful pouncing in the article... I see TONNNNNNS of gleeful pouncing in the comments, where women who evidently love nothing more than the stereotypical bachelorette party milieu have taken great offense to the suggestion that fun exists outside the penis hat aisle at Party City. I probably…

Oh, bless your little heart, you’re trying so hard. It really is okay that you don’t like thinking, you don’t need to prove it by being so resentful of the thoughts of others. You poor dear. Just go have your little fun, and let the grownups handle the brain work.

Honey, it’s okay that thinking about things makes you mad and inspires a tantrum about how you just want to have fun without having to ever think about any of it. Some of us actually like thinking, though, and talking about things like why these social rituals exist and what it means for a woman to cut loose in…

I totally thought Mariah Carey with a splash of Anna Chlumsky.

So instead of even considering a supportive environment for the whole family, which allows the family bond to be preserved, it’s better to remove the parent from the life and drop the kid into foster care. Got it. I notice you have nothing to say about the failures of the foster system to turn out healthy, well…

I’m just really appalled at how many people are so eager to take children away from loving parents who need assistance so that those children can enter the foster care system. I mean... do y’all not realize how utterly and completely fucked the foster system is, how damaging it is to children to take them away from…

And if you can point out where I said that parent education should be a one-and-done scenario, just some quickie lessons before turning them loose, please do so.

So you’re just completely unwilling to even support an attempt to see if these people are teachable, you’re just making the assumption that because they’re low IQ we should just throw them away. Fucking gross.

Right. That’s still an open adoption. Thanks for backing up what I was saying.

The operative word here is MAY. You don’t know. No one knows without actually trying. If trying to educate parents in caring for their children doesn’t work, then sure, have at it, strip their parental rights and put the children in the super awesome totally untroubled foster care system. That’s definitely been a…

What on earth gives you the impression that these people are unwilling to change?

What you’re describing is just another variety of open adoption. There are open adoptions and closed adoptions, but there are no requirements for the level of contact in an open adoption. The decision of how much contact to have with the bio-family in an open adoption is one left to the adoptive family and the…

So taking the child away from its mother is a better option than educating the mother and helping her develop the parenting skills she needs? Wow.
