"When Lewis demands 'full surrogacy now,' she isn’t talking about commercial surrogacy.... she uses the surrogacy industry to build the argument that all gestation is work..."

"... because of the immense physical and emotional labor it requires of those who do it. She often refers to pregnancy as an 'extreme sport.' If all forms of pregnancy count as work, we can take a clear-eyed look at our current working conditions: 'It is a wonder we let fetuses inside us,' she says... 'This situation is social, not simply "natural." Things are like this for political and economic reasons: we made them this way.'... She 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.... Her radical proposition is that we practice 'full surrogacy' by abolishing the family. That means caring for each other not in discrete private units (also known as nuclear households), but rather within larger systems of care that can provide us with the love and support we can’t always get from blood relations—something Lewis knows all too well.... 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 has found that when she talks about family abolition people respond as though she’s 'not even speaking English anymore … like [I’m] not even making syntactical sense,' she said at the e-flux lecture. 'Real brain explosion emoji to the max.'"

From "We Can't Have a Feminist Future Without Abolishing the Family/The feminist thinker Sophie Lewis has a radical proposal for what comes next" (Vice).

ADDED: It's so absurd to think that because there's not enough love in one place that you should go all-in on something completely different. Many people run their own life on reasoning like that: My husband/wife isn't fulfilling my dreams/satifying all my needs, so I've had it with this marriage. I need to grab for my last chance at true love/next chance at sexual gratification with this appealing stranger/the next person who comes along.

AND: Lewis manifests the left-wing instinct for leveling. It's not that the proposed system would create interlacing supportive love for everybody. It's that it would rid us of the love billionaires — those privileged few who have selfishly acquired happy families for themselves.
