Okay, so my beef today is wondering why men make such a big deal about the much feared Vasectomy.  A lot of my couple friends now have two children, so I am hearing a lot of men I know talking about getting the procedure done.  They make it sound like its a loss of their manhood or something.

Lets see, lets think of us women for a second.  We have terrible mood swings when we are PMSing, we have that terrible week of menstration.  We have to buy midol, sanitary products, you name it.  We deal with this from about age 12 or 13 to age 55 or so.  Then we have pregnancy…..we puke for 4 months, or some women the whole time, some women not at all.  We refrain from alcholic beverages, eating only healthy things for our growing baby.  We get stretch marks, spider veins, varicose veins, widened hips, excess pounds that we have to lose, multiple hours of labour, the risk of an epidural,  all to push out something the size of a watermelon out of our vagae-vagae that certainly isn’t the size of a watermelon.  With our legs spread open and many eyes down where you never imagined so many eyes would go.  Then we are up through the night, every night breastfeeding the baby, giving them their nourishment for life, as we think about how we are going to lose all of the weight it took us 9 months to gain.

Next time you men think about you little doctor’s office visit where you have a little snip-snip done, and then you walk out that same hour, don’t forget everything your wife goes through to get you to the point of wanting a vasectomy.
