Abstract
Potential competing interests: No potential competing interests to declare.The last thing women who struggle with infertility need is yet another male author telling them their only chance of having a baby reinforces patriarchy.Infertility is a disease and I find the argument that ARTs reinforce patriarchy weak.The author should reconsider his argument.In fact it is well known that infertile women living in patriarchal societird suffer great ostracism, social and family pressures to produce offspring especially male offspring.What is wrong with Assisted reproductive technologies in terms of democratizing access to them is the prohibitive cost for many people in countries or provinces or states where insurances do not cover costs and even in countries where 1 IVF cycle is funded more cycles are needed for successful live birth.In some cases people can spend thousands of dollars or tens of thousands of dollars until they achieve a live birth because these technologies do not guarantee anything and it takes several tries to be successful.The author argues that preference for biological parenthood is problematic.That is for each individual to decide what type of parenthood they prefer.If an LGBT couple wants biological ties with their offspring why is that problematic?In certain countries LGBT people cannot legally adopt, in other countries adoption is difficult because not enough people are in the system, for example in the province where I live Saskatchewan a law was passed for indigenous children in the system to rightfully be placed with indigenous communities first.This however has created a vacuum in the local adoption system and there are currently no children to adopt (with wait lists of many years), therefore the only way to adopt for nonindigenous couples is international adoption which also carries costs.For these couples maybe IVF is an answer especially if they suffer from infertility, but such treatments can help them.The author also argues that biological parenthood reinforces patriarchy.For millions of mothers who are having children these days and for fathers that help out with baby care this is a problematic argument.According to the author one should no longer have biological children because it reinforces patriarchy.If fathers would help out with baby care, bottle feeding and other household tasks that would not be the case, and many fathers these days do step up.If the author thinks breastfeeding reinforces patriarchy probably the author has not heard of pumping which allows the mother to extract the milk so that other household members for instance the father can feed the baby.It's most used to keep up milk supply for instance in the US by women who go back to work after 2-3 months because of short maternity leave but who want to continue feeding the baby breastmilk.Also, formula feeding is quite acceptable these days and many women do not breastfeed.Less and less women stay at home.This argument is also outdated.In many countries for instance former socialist countries in Eastern Europe mothers have always gone back to work after giving birth.They now have access to

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
