★☆☆☆☆
The author mocks her son and wants to have power of attorney over his reproductive rights once he turns 18
The author mocks her son ("When I think of Gus in a sexual situation it generally has a 'Benny Hill' soundtrack. And anything with that music does not end well.")
She even doubts he is a sentient being ("I want to understand what he's thinking. Is he thinking?")
And finally, she is considering to eliminate his reproductive rights (“I do not want Gus to have children… Gus should not be a parent.” “I will insist on having medical power of attorney, so that I will be able to make the decision about a vasectomy for him after he turns 18.”)
I feel sorry for Gus, a boy that deserves a better future
