“Where pregnancy is concerned, let every pregnancy be for everyone. Let us overthrow, in short, the family.”
The surrogacy industry is estimated to be worth over $1 billion a year, and many of its surrogates around the world work in terrible conditions—deception, wage-stealing and money skimming are rife; adequate medical care is horrifyingly absent; and informed consent is depressingly rare. In Full Surrogacy Now, Sophie Lewis brings a fresh and unique perspective to the topic. Often, we think of surrogacy as the problem, but, Full Surrogacy Now argues, we need more surrogacy, not less! Rather than looking at surrogacy through a legal lens, Lewis argues that the needs and protection of surrogates should be put front and center. Their relationship to the babies they gestate must be rethought, as part of a move to recognize that reproduction is productive work. Only then can we begin to break down our assumptions that children “belong” to those whose genetics they share. Taking collective responsibility for children would radically transform our notions of kinship, helping us to see that it always takes a village to make a baby.
The seriously radical cry for full gestational justice that I long for … unique and bracing.”– Donna Haraway
“Full Surrogacy Now is a landmark text of visionary feminist thinking. This book is as breathtaking as it is necessary.”– Natasha Lennard
“An extraordinary book, as nuanced as it is provocative. I cannot recommend it highly enough.”– Helen Hester
“This book goes far into places where few gender abolitionists have ventured and brings us a vision of another life.” – McKenzie Wark
“Sophie Lewis is at the top of a new generation of scholars and activists thinking the transformation of gestational labor within contemporary pharmacopornographic capitalism.– Paul B. Preciado
“Sophie Lewis and her expansive vision of feminism are desperately needed right now.– Melissa Gira Grant

Atleast feminists aren’t trying to hide it anymore that they want to destroy the family.
August 13th, 2022
That is a stupid comment and the author does not represent feminism. For true feminism, surrogacy is an abomination.

Anyone who claims to be a feminist represents feminism. That’s what happens with something as ill defined as third wave feminism. And fourth wave feminism, which is so poorly defined that its existence is still being debated.
Feminism now includes everything and anything, even contradictory things. I was a feminist when it was about equality. Now I’ll keep defending equality and just not identify as a feminist. Defending feminism is a lost cause.

There’s nothing wrong with feminism.
Radical feminism which strives for more than equality and has it’s own built-in prejudices exists, nobody’s saying it doesnt. But saying that’s an accurate representation of feminism is like saying Qanon is an accurate representation of Conservatives.

@erouting “Anyone who claims to be a feminist represents feminism.” No. Unless they are the spokesperson for some large organisation, they just represent themselves.
If I say “As a man, I think …” that does not bind half the human race.

Feminism is all about pushing agendas now adays instead of being about equality. Truth is too many women get off victimizing themselves

Feminism is the female id.

We Can’t Have a Feminist Future Without Abolishing the Family ● The feminist thinker Sophie Lewis has a radical proposal for what comes next ● by Marie Solis | February 21, 2020
vice.com/en/article/qjdzwb/sophie-lewis-feminist-abolishing-the-family-full-surrogacy-now
“Lewis imagines a future where the labor of making new human beings is shared among all of us, “mother” no longer being a natural category, but instead something we can choose.”
“In Lewis’s utopian future, the family as we know it no longer exists. Everyone, regardless of gender, is a surrogate; we mother each other.”
“Lewis’s call to abolish the family is also a call to re-energize and repoliticize feminism.”

“contemporary pharmacopornographic capitalism?” More should be generally known abt this.

None of you have read this book and don’t understand what the author is saying, you are just having a knee jerk reaction to an admittedly provocative title. The book operates as a polemic not a prescription. In the books she says that this isn’t about taking away what we already have but in adding to it though greater community support, that is what she means by surrogacy for all, its not too different from the old saying it takes a village to raise a child. We can almost all agree that in society today we are too atomisesd and isolated and this book agrues against that and examines some of the things that drive this social isolation and how that especially impacts on the lives of mothers and children.
The book is also in direct discourse with a much older feminist work by Shulamith Firestone’s The Dialectic of Sex and is most likely aimed at readers who have some knowledge of this text.
It isn’t meant for a general audiance who will not understand its context or will tend to take it too literally.
Anyway, thank you for uploading.

Yeah, but you can’t be suggesting (having read the book) that the author’s intended purpose is some species of dissembling incoherence? That the writing is designedly incomprehensible & closed to understanding? Any half-decent author can provide context in the introduction & during the course of the work. It’s scarcely an advanced technical manual, which will present as hopelessly esoteric to the uninitiated, it’s a social science effort.
Sometimes there’s an attempt in that field to conceal fairly banal & nonsensical ideas behind admittedly silly jargon (that goes w the territory) but presumably the author is beyond that kind of fatuous posturing.
Indeed, the absurdity of the premise is being presented polemically, which might go to explain some of the silliness; but p’haps the author is trying to stimulate debate around an issue, rather than attempting to propose any kind of realistic panacea.

Hear, hear: caesar963 blaming an author to write “designedly incomprehensible & closed to understanding”
Oh, the irony! 😉😙
August 13th, 2022
That’s only the beginning of the irony, “m” - given that you failed to understand one word of my response to the previous post. The preceding clause was “you can’t be suggesting…” - not that it was of a certainty the case. You do understand what irony means, dontcha? A curious fellow to be on a book site; the return on your investment of time must be negligible, to say the least.
“blaming an author to write” - oy.
(In closing: a smiley ironic face).

idk why but anti feminists make me sick. in a hateful way.
we’ll get rid of our hangups and gravity will have no effect on us. then we can live floating among the stars. -Timothy Leary

Dear c:
It was Monge–Pascal who first asked whether one-to-one liners can be comprehensible. In this setting, the ability to construct differentiable comments is essential. On the other hand, it has long been known that not. Here, existence is clearly a concern. E. Maruyama’s characterization of caesar963’s postings was a milestone in applied potential theory. Therefore it would be interesting to apply the techniques of caesar963 to ordered, Euclid, simply differentiable comments.

…an object lesson in don’t run before u can crawl. You’re going to have to begin elementary syntactic analysis first; in a manner which does not provoke hysterical giggles in onlookers, of course.
(Close with: ironic return on investment face)

As a feminist you will by your own nature sooner or later begin to eat your own tail…
