The way it lands would probably depend on context, including who the speaker is. Having a uterus and calling yourself a “potential host” is vastly different from someone else, for example RFK Jr, using the term to refer to others. One is a deliberate subversion of the expectation that anyone with a uterus is supposed to be pro “having babies.” The other can be straight-up dehumanization (depending on how it’s used.)
Being on the internet, where the sex and gender of a speaker aren’t always obvious, you’re probably making a wise choice by avoiding the term.
With all that said, as a uterus-haver, I still laughed when I read it. So… ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯
I for some reason though of it being used in the worst video dating reel. Think “lowered expectations” but with some modern “trad wife” wanting asshat.
“Looking for an available female for the purpose of becoming the host of my son”

The host is a great description, going to have to start using that… well maybe not.
