Woman Trades Baby for Car

This story should make your skin crawl. The myth that only a man may see his children as dispensable is obviously well-refuted by this disgusting display. The truth is that both men and women can be defective caregivers or just plain sociopathic when it comes even to their own children. What will feminists say about this story, that she was forced into doing it by some man or by the oppressive circumstances of patriarchy? Excerpt:

'PUEBLO, Colorado (AP) -- Three people were arrested on charges of swapping a 5-month-old boy for a down payment on a used Dodge Intrepid and cash, police said Tuesday.

Nicole Uribe, 23, is accused of trading the baby to Jose-Juan Lerma, 47, and his wife, Irene, 27, in exchange for the down payment and an unspecified amount of cash.'

I was just a baby boy, I mean, what's the big deal? It's not like it was a little girl or anything. The mother is young, and in a foreign land with no money. She should be allowed to sell her son for a down payment on a P.O.S. car all she wants.

As long as no little girls were sold into prostitution I really don't see what the problem is.

A young woman got what she wanted and I'm sure these nice people who were generous enough to help out this poor Mexican girl would have put the boy to good use working as undocumented slave labor somewhere in a few years.

To bad what I write sarcastically is pretty much how society in general treats situations like this...

But remember, March is National Women’s History Month, celebrating the contributions of women, whatever those might have been.
