A woman who reads this will correctly conclude that this isn't a place where she is considered a person.

What definition of "considered a person" are you using that makes the above even a remotely valid deduction.

The idea that children should be made as means for a cause is equally disgusting.

If you have problems with doing things as a means to an end, might I recommend a forum where consequentialism isn't the default moral theory.

Oh dear me! Was I supposed to sign any papers before posting on this forum, proclaming my adherence to consequentialism? Will I get arrested now???

No, but simply declaring an instance of it disgusting is not an argument.
