(1,250 posts)Women DO push for men to get vasectomies when the woman doesn't want any more children.
Women DO protest a man getting Cialis & Viagra if they don't want a man horndogging it all the time.
What you say about the medical establishment putting up roadblocks is true & THAT needs to go.
But with ANYTHING pertaining to a couple BOTH parties need input on a decision that will affect both parties: the woman & the man.
That goes for something as little as new wallpaper to something as big as reproductive choices.
I believe in female AND male birth control which avoids the issue altogether.
I DON'T believe in permanent vasectomies to be male birth control & can't wait until they come up with a pill for that.
People should have children they are ready to raise so we can ALL reduce the number of orphans in the world.
Mothers have rights & so do fathers. It takes two to make a baby.
I also believe in fairer family court proceedings which are not biased in favor of women automatically believing them to be the better parent by default. Sometimes the mothers are the abusers & the father is the better parent.
It's all about fairness.
Women SHOULD have their say in issues affecting them. That's a no-brainer.
But men are NOT exempt from having input too.
Having that mindset is childish.
In reality it's not JUST a women's issue. It's a SOCIETAL issue & that affects EVERYBODY: women AND men.
Lots of men can't wait for the day that they won't have to feel trapped by pregnancies by a woman trying lock them into a relationship.
Women are not the ONLY ones who want better reproductive options.
Some of Roe vs. Wade's biggest supporters are MEN.
