In reply to the discussion: Florida Republican sorry for repeatedly calling pregnant women 'host bodies' [View all]CousinIT
(12,844 posts)26. Republicans Advocate for Sexual & Reproductive Slavery for US Girls & Women
The World over, HALF the human population are considered less than human. They are instead considered mere vessels; incubators; host bodies to incubate male seed; male service units. This entire attitude is what rape culture, and the patriarchy that is hellbent on denying women full agency of their own bodies and full reproductive health care is perched upon.

The use of the term isn't what's offensive... his demand to control those "host bodies" is.

Perhaps people should refer to him as a sperm host body instead of a man.
