I also don't likr when it's assumed. In my family it was never assumed a man wasn't able to do "woman stuff", because we saw it wasn't true (sometimes by choice, sometimes quite not, like a widower). But when I read a stay at home dad can only be miserable, I think back of how fun it was with my dad, and I roll my eyes.

Hysterectomy: this is just my opinion, but imagine you get it, and in 10, 20... years you change your mind. Everything happens in life. I have seen and heard of bigger changes. I used to hate babies and I couldn't tolerate a "eee". Now I'm after every baby in the street and I don't even notice yelling.
Or people who used to be hardcore frum/atheist became atheist/frum. Allow yourself to have an option. Please. My mother has friends who only start to have a baby urge NOW. It is well known educated women get the urge (really) later.
Meeting the right guy can also make you change your mind. Give yourself the option even if you never use it.

Children in uni: unless the husband is working, it is certainly really bad. In France we get a lot more help, but still.

Medical care: have you noticed the coldest, meanest, most patronizing ones are WOMEN! they want to show it doesn't prevent them from being "like guys" or worse...

I wouldn't plan on getting a hysterectomy until I was 25 or so. But even thought I know that it's a viable treatment option, I can't get a doctor to even discuss it with me, not even in a hypothetical manner. They won't even discuss what my opter options for treatment are.

I'm not sure how much of female doctors being judgemental is about proving they're like men. Surely, there is a lot of pressure for women to be just like the boys, but there's also this idea that they must know what is/isn't normal in the female body because, well, they have one too.

true... if your female doc is a horse, and you're not, OY!
