It's like that Doctor Who episode

So you're admitting that you're a fan of a white supremacist show? Speaking of BIG FAIL...

Does anyone have anything they want to hock? I want to link my blog but don't be the only tacky spammer! It consists of me getting drunk on wine and recapping A Song of Ice and Fire AKA the books Game of Thrones is based on. I like to think they're witty and snarky. They're safe for people who only watch the show.…

Show him this amazing comic. http://www.robot-hugs.com/harassment/

I don't think you're overreacting at all. She sounds super sketchy. You or one of your siblings if you have them should be helping with his finances if he isn't capable of doing it himself.

I hate family drama. It's such a shame that it so often happens when there's a death. My aunt died about a year and a half ago. She was a widow with no kids so my grandmother was the beneficiary or her estate. My grandmother is 88 years old and doesn't know anything about financial and legal matters so my uncle…

I had to go to the bank before it closed and liquor store unfortunately. It sucks because I stayed up until 6 am drinking and smoking pot. Something I haven't done in awhile because I'm in my 30's but my coworkers are bad influences! :) I accidently puked in the sink trying to hock a loogie after I woke up. …

No. It can be done ethically and often is. I'm talking only about this specific situation. Not condemning everyone who uses surrogacy to reproduce.

Because the agency is interested in exploiting women in poor countries lacking regulations for a huge profit and they don't care about the well being of anyone involved.

That's fine when it's your pregnancy. However, we're talking about a wealthy first world couple who exploited a poor women they didn't even meet personally. Most likely she was not made aware that something like this could happen. That's why they're horrible people. If I was having a baby through surrogacy I would…

That's awfully naïve of you to assume that the surrogate was fully educated on her rights and responsibilities and what precisely was in the contract.

You've got to love that people think adopting a baby is as easy as going down to the Humane Society and picking out a cat.

Me too. This is one of those times that Jezebel seems to be for privileged white feminists only.

It's disheartening how many commenters here don't seem to understand this. Once again, I'm reminded of how many Jezebel commenters can't or won't do feminism intersectionally.

What's the point in asking whether or not this happened in the US? It didn't. The agency most likely didn't make it absolutely clear that this might happen. There's a reason this couple wanted to go outside of Australia. They knew it was easier and cheaper to exploit the body of a poor person in a poor country.

You act as if there is not a huge power differential between the couple, who are wealthy enough to hire a surrogate and a young, poor, uneducated woman in a country that lacks a lot of regulation. It's highly unlikely she was told beforehand that an abortion might be requested. It's really gross and colonialist on…

We also should remember that the show only films for about 8 weeks and they only went on a handful of dates. They've been broken for about 3 months. Longer then they've known each other. Move on!

A lot of states have mandatory arrest laws when someone reports any domestic violence. It's meant to protect the victim who may be too scared to press charges after a DV call. Unfortunately it has some unintended consequences. The victim is often arrested along with the abuser because the abuse knows how to work…

I agree. He sounds a lot like a white person imitating what he thinks black people sound like. It's especially fishy because he goes in and out of his black lingo from post to post.
