A recent X post sparked significant debate. A user recounted a conversation with a self-proclaimed feminist. The feminist argued against women giving birth. She cited the inherent risks of both pregnancy and delivery.
User @FindingSolace shared the detailed exchange online. The conversation quickly gained traction, stirring public opinion.
The post read: “I debated a feminist regarding childbirth. She stated pregnancy and delivery are risky. Women should avoid giving birth, she concluded. No issues there, initially.”
The user continued: “My surprise grew when she suggested surrogacy. She proposed women use surrogates instead. I questioned this logic. Are surrogates not women?”
“A new activism is clearly needed,” the user asserted. “Feminism advocates for equal rights with men. We also need a campaign for equal rights among women. Many feminists show unkindness to other women.”
The post concluded with a pointed question: “You wish to avoid fatal childbirth. Yet, you propose subjecting another woman to that fate.”
By Monday, the post received thousands of responses. It generated numerous quotes and reposts. Many users criticized the surrogacy suggestion. They deemed it inconsistent. It contradicts earlier safety concerns about childbirth.

YourSoftIgboGirl commented: “Surrogates are paid for their services. They understand the associated risks. If they proceed for payment, it is their choice. My concern is regulation. Surrogates should be properly compensated. They must not be exploited due to poverty.”
Mr Man stated: “Feminists desire male advantages. They often avoid the necessary effort. Given the chance, they would replicate criticized male behaviors.”
