Occurred on gogglebox, the two guys sitting together the one with the curly brown shoulder length hair (stephen/Daniel) They were discussing the young surrogate in the "nest" when he stated, .."it would be like asking Waynetta to be your vessel" it was the casualness, of this type of language entering the mainstream that really concerned me. Furthermore it also has undertones of young, working class girls as not "good enough" even to be a "vessel" is it worth writing to the BBC as it's worrying for this to be entering mainstream.

An another example of why surrogacy should not be legally allowed

Yep - complete casual misogyny. Just another example of the demolition of the term 'woman'.

Vessel. It speaks volumes about their attitude to women doesn't it, misogyny doesn't even cover it.

It was something along the lines of 'you'd want a better vessel wouldn't you?'
