    One topic that I believe is related is the decision not to have children.

    My wife attempted to get her tubes tied, and every doctor turned her down because she was too young.

    Despite being the same age, the first doctor I spoke to agreed to a vasectomy without Amy pushback.

      This is a really weird issue that I really don’t understand how it’s so persistent. Even younger women doctors seem reluctant to sterilize women without at least checking if a husband/so is ok with it.

      Everyone knows that women named Amy really want babies and they pushback hard if their SO doesn’t want one.
