Backlash Against “Feminist Fury” Over MIT Newspaper Egg Donation Ad
13th January 2013
We recently covered the fact that some students were selling their eggs to fertility clinics in an effort to fund their education.
I don’t see how you can call it ‘donation’ when you’re getting cash for your body part.
One individual, understanding the new market dynamics, placed an ad in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s student newspaper that requested a donor who met specific requirements. This act generated a response typical of feminist groups from two of the campus’ activist organizations.
Saw that coming. As in other fairy kingdoms of ‘progressive’ never-never land, for feminists, some choices are more equal than others.
‘I thought feminism was about choice?’
‘It was never about THAT choice!’
