    My female friend had a female doctor try to talk her out of a contraceptives prescription; that she was 28 and should be having babies…

    It’s not a misogyny thing, per se, rather just people that define their lives by the templates supplied by societal stereotypes. Never take advice from a person that doesn’t think for themself.

      people that define their lives by the templates supplied by societal stereotypes

      This is literally institutional misogyny.

          Oh, for sure. I meant that in this specific example

          the templates supplied by societal stereotypes

          are called institutional misogyny.

      Women are able to perpetuate misogyny. Your comment seems like you think misogyny can only happen to a women from a man. Not sure of your actual intent, but it comes off that way.

      Doing something permanent at 28 could be shortsighted and I would agree with the doctor in that case but surely a prescription is just temporary? I don’t see why the doctor would advice against it
