You’ve been excoriated, but you’re right. “Woman charged with fatally stabbing her four children” is the more appropriate headline for a feminist website. It tells you everything you need to know.

For me, it’s more that it’s without clear consent from the daughter. Yes, I would think it was slightly weird for a daughter to ask a mom to be a surrogate simply because of the age issue, but this woman is dead and there’s no explicit proof that this is what she wanted. It feels more like the mom wanting a grandchild…

I have nothing to add, I just wanted to say that this is a great comment.
