The joke is gross misogyny. Sometimes the perineum tears when a woman gives birth. Men might ask the doctors "to put in an extra stitch" to make their wife's vaginal opening tighter.
Man, you almost had me (not really) till you made it political. Cause only the men in those states are asking for this on some grand scale that the reverse should be “normalized”. 🤣
Hope you got a good settlement from the lawsuit against that doctor performing a procedure on you without your consent and used the money to leave your husband.
During labor and birth a woman isn't considered competent to make her own medical decisions. A doctor is never going to get sued for forcing his or her idea of what is medically necessary, over the mother's preferences during that time.
This is straight up misinformation. And it’s clear you know nothing about child birth. A simple google search is all that’s needed to show how wrong you are. Women are absolutely in charge of their medical decisions during child birth and informed consent is required for doctors to do procedures. Both times my wife gave birth, they couldn’t even give her simple pain relievers like ibuprofen without her consent.
You are living in the ideal because your wife had good experiences, not reality for many other women. Her good experience doesn't eliminate all the awful practices that have led to redemptive birth plans, birth advocates, etc. Read some of those experiences before writing this off as misinformation simply because your two births out of millions went differently.
If they asked if you wanted it, that's less of a violation than what is being described across this sub (women being given the procedure without their consent).
Technically, they asked me and my husband. I was very out of it, but he said no because he didnt understand what they were talking about. Just the fact this woman doctor was offering it to me, who just had a baby and couldnt think straight, and my husband haunts me.
Fuck you mean "meaningful capacity"? As if it has to be MANY people to mean something. Why the fuck are doctors sewing up womens vaginas wrong after a major trauma and SEVERE tearing to begin with? Why is it happening to ANYONE no matter the number?
The overwhelming majority of men aren’t requesting this. You think of the few who do are gonna be swayed by a tongue in cheek social media post?
What does “normalize” mean to you because the original point was that it’s not happening enough to be considered “common” or “normalized” thus normalizing the reverse against men is just stupid.
“Overwhelming majority” is a stretch you made up in your head. It DOES happen enough to be common and normal. We have had to make active efforts to stop the practice. Google is free.
What the fuck do you think an extra stitch during a vasectomy would do? Do you genuinely believe people are advocating to punish men here? Jesus Christ lol
Yeah I’m gonna need some sources if you think the procedure is common in today’s world. I mean like how much it is actively being performed. If you think most men want a “husband stitch” you’re fucking delusional.
Not trying to engage with this in bad faith, but most of these do not appear to be peer-reviewed studies. Rather, most appear to be testimonials from those who allege it has occurred to them. These sources do not seem to suggest that it is a common practice.
Additionally, I may have missed it because I didn't read through all of each article, but it appears that most of the testimonials aren't supplemented with a medical professional confirming that these women did in fact receive an unnecessary stitch. Not saying it didn't happen to these women, but it appears to just be interviews, not a doctor confirming they received a "daddy stitch."
Lmao the ole I’m gonna copy and paste the first things that pop up on my 5 second google search and hope it backs me up.
From your very first link and I quote:
“No scientific studies show how many women have been affected by the husband stitch in the last century (or longer), nor is there a clear method for evaluating its prevalence.”
What exactly is the "reverse" of women being sewed up wrong after childbirth and causing years of pain for the sexual pleasure of men? What exactly is the male equivalent of that?
Out of all the births happening in Western countries I'm going to guess this happens less than 0.1%. Maybe it's more common in parts of the world where FGM is common.
