Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Who Owns a Baby? Sophie Lewis on Ethical Surrogacy & the Future of Pregnancy
Q: What is ethical surrogacy look like if that's even possible?
Ethical surrogacy requires recognizing that surrogacy is already embedded in unequal global labor patterns, and the focus should be on reforming care systems, ensuring consent, fair compensation, and broader social support to reduce coercive dynamics.
Who Owns a Baby? Sophie Lewis on Ethical Surrogacy & the Future of Pregnancy
Q: But how do you think about unpacking parenthood and our ideas about ownership, like in terms of gestation and biology, versus how you think about it?
Genetics isn't a property deed; embryos are emotionally and socially entangled beings, and the notion that a baby is a direct extension of the gestator or genetic contributor is an oversimplification that ignores the broader mutual dependencies and social relations involved.
Who Owns a Baby? Sophie Lewis on Ethical Surrogacy & the Future of Pregnancy
Q: So can you talk to us a little bit about these risks and why they're often underplayed, even in feminist contexts?
The discussion reframes pregnancy morbidity as a real, physical cost and argues that highlighting these risks isn't anti-child but a necessary part of understanding the labor involved and the structural pressures in which pregnancy occurs.
How Invisible Labor Kills Intimacy & How to Fix It with Laura Danger
Q: What practical steps can listeners take to start shifting these dynamics in their own relationships?
Start with explicit conversations, assign lead roles for tasks, practice good faith effort, and explore other sources of fulfillment besides the partnership to reduce pressure; small, concrete changes can accumulate into meaningful improvements.
How Invisible Labor Kills Intimacy & How to Fix It with Laura Danger
Q: What are neg paradox and weaponized incompetence, and why do they matter for intimacy?
Neg paradox describes a dynamic where one partner directs and the other is constantly directed, creating tension; weaponized incompetence involves purposeful failure to avoid responsibility, which, if named and addressed, can become a path to healthier boundaries and accountability.
