Britain is to get its first NHS-funded national sperm bank to make it easier for lesbian couples and single women to have children

[AlesD]

They sell it as this is for lesbian couples but if you read closely it is basically a government subsidy for single mother to have kids. Later in the article they say that they expect that a large percentage of clients will be professional single women who want to have a baby without a man.

what about adoptions?

what about saving babies that would otherwise be aborted?

These options provide much less scope for a prospective single mother to choose desirable characteristics for the sperm donor.

i can see that if it was private costs, though this was a government program, from a government health department. i don't know if that it's government funded that i should expect something more about the health of children rather than the desires of the mother for a  government run eugenics program.

Their self-description isn't accurate, though.  If they really wanted "to have a baby without a man", then they wouldn't acquire human sperm to fuse with an egg to produce a baby. 

 

What they really want is "to have a baby without risking rejection from men", which is really "to have a baby without appealing to male sensibility, male standards of morality and attraction, or male-opinion of any kind", which is really "to have a baby by 100% disempowering men".

This post is seemingly unrelated, but I have difficulty refraining from injecting Rollo Tomasini, the author at therationalmale.com, into gender-discussions. 

 

His most recent post was brilliant, and this was my favorite line: "Besides the fact that she’s had multiple “relationships” at age 23, I find it interesting that she’s recognized this ‘openness’ as a mistake. Not a mistake with regards to her own choices, but rather a mistake in feeling comfortable enough to lay bear her sexual strategy for a guy who should expects should already be “accepting of who she is.”

 

My comment: "In order for her to recognize her openness as a mistake with regard to her own choices, she must have actual empathy for what a man needs, wants, and cares about.  Instead, she recognizes her openness as a mistake with regard to getting what she wants from him - which means she possesses no empathy for a man's needs, wants, and desires; she only, instead, has a selfish sense of cause-and-effect: 'If I say X, he gets mad, and I don't get what I want when he gets mad, so I shouldn't say X.'"
