That's a white guy thing.

You’re being downvoted, but you’re not exactly wrong. Cultural indoctrination definitely impacts who considers a vasectomy a viable option. I got snipped in Ecuador. The staff at the clinic explained that they do twice as many sterilization procedures on women than men despite it being more painful, expensive, and invasive to tie a woman’s tubes. Many cultures consider vasectomies to be emasculating, while other cultures consider it responsible and smart. It shouldn’t be a white thing, but it kinda is.

I kinda pointed it out in a provocative way because I am aware of how it’s seen, but also because saying there isn’t a way is the exact problem. Those perceptions need to be replaced we need a few generations globally to get snipped after the second child to bring population down. It’s ridiculous. 2 kids. That’s all we need. No mass sterilisation just stop at 2 kids. No one needs 102 kids cmon. Ecologically it’s a flipping disaster
