Dear Care and Feeding: My Husband Eagerly Got a Vasectomy, but I’m Aching for More Kids. What Should We Do? | His body, his choice - isn't that how it works, feminists?

So when a women does not want kids, its a black and white issue. But when a man does not want another kid, it becomes "complicated".

Actually, I expect this lack of self-awareness from Slate, it's their M.O. on gender issue's.

no no, the feminist position is "His Body, her choice"

OMG ... Respect your partner ...

Is that so complicated?

“...everyone’s right to do what’s necessary to ensure they will not conceive a child they do not want to have.”

Yup.

“...no, your husband has not done anything wrong.”

Gasp! Can’t believe they were allowed to publish this article.

“I can’t tell if you would be happier divorcing your husband... “

Blah blah suggests nuclear option which would wreck the entire family rather than, oh I dunno... a compromise like say... adoption?

Seriously, the respondent was doing pretty good up until that last part.

At first I felt sorry for this woman. I thought maybe she was just in mourning for a third child she’ll never have, and that’s fine. She’s allowed to be sad about that.

But then she mentioned pushing for a reversal and said she should have some say in how many kids they have. Uh, no. He doesn’t want any more. Period. Kiss off, lady.

Just like with abortion being a woman's choice, this is his.

Glad to see the response to her bullshit was basically "get over it or leave your husband if you need another baby so bad"
