Time to change doctors.

Your body, her choice.

Women have rights. Men have... permission slips.

When I was a kid, I always thought it was funny when men referred to their wife as "the boss". It seemed facetious, though not condescending.

It seems like society is reinforcing the joke. It's becoming literally true.

Ok, I should admit up front that I have serious problems with doctors. I have had a lot of bad experiences.

Personally, I think this is a case of doctors being assholes more than discrimination against men. I've given birth five times, and every single time I was pregnant or in labor, I had to deal with at least one doctor trying to treat me like a stupid child. And it's not because I'm a woman; they were equally rude and dismissive towards my husband. IMO, that's what this is -- doctors think their patients are too incompetent to handle their own marriages, so they think they need to get involved.

Well, I have been banned from one y now too. Fuck em. Fucking fascists.

I was going to post this:

It is not law but is to protect the doctor from frivolous law suits. There have been many cases of doctors being sued by the wife when a husband gets a vasectomy in secret, and since malpractice insurance is so expensive and only goes up with each suit and because a lawsuit damages a doctors practice and costs money in lawyer fees, it is way of heading off potential loss of revenue from a frivolous suit.

Think about that for a moment guys. Women literally think that if they get poked by it, then they own it.
