Ep 918 | My Response to the 'DINK' Trend
Summary
Today we're talking about the trend going around on social media of people calling themselves "DINKs" ("dual income no kids"), a nickname for married couples with no children. We look at the video that started the online discussion, which features a couple bragging about how they're able to go out to eat every night and never need to hire babysitters. We explain why this philosophy of glorifying childlessness is so hollow. We discuss how while there is nothing wrong with enjoying life before having children, the insistence that having children is a burden is so misguided. Then, we discuss a gay couple who candidly spoke about their criteria for picking a woman to hire as a surrogate and why this further perpetuates the objectification of women that is at the core of surrogacy. We also react to National Women's Law Center CEO Fatima Goss Graves not knowing what a woman is and presidential candidate Nikki Haley saying we shouldn't regulate child transitions.
