Very easy to forget just how much women were at the mercy of random men ho didn't have to lead their lives.

I live in a small Canadian Prairie city with a spouse and a dog. We retired in 2018. This is what life is like.

I feel like this is still an issue. We can pretend we're better than this but my OBGYN refused to tie my tubes after kid #1 even though I was sure I didn't want anymore at 30. I have two now and they are ridiculously close together in age (again refused to tie my tubes at 31), only in the past year or so have I felt even close to back to normal emotionally from dealing with all of that. I've gotten a secret IUD because of a pregnancy scare after kid #2 and that I don't trust my partner to respect my bodily boundaries if he knew I had it.
ReplyDeleteSomeone I know had an elective C-section and during the delivery one of the assisting doctors was insisting to know why she was obliged. Eventually the OB said: "Because she wants to. It's not up for discussion.".
ReplyDeleteAfter I heard the story I wondered what difference would it make to have that discussion over the choice of someone present, cut open, conscious, scared, and half paralyzed? I mean not that it was any of his business, but he could ask in private or in a situation that was less traumatizing for the mom to be.
