I thought long and hard about publishing this one, but I think it needs to be done.
I don't consider myself any kind of leader type, nor a figure to be emulated. But I do think that the women's movement has empowered women and created a system which increasingly is driven by, and supportive of, what are perceived to be values associated with women. And I think likewise that there is a lack of any such thing for men. You may take your "patriarchal society" comments at this point and shelve them: I'm not interested in the discussion.
What does interest me is doing right by other men. Offering support, information and communication. Hence this post: I'm going in today for a vasectomy.
Now, currently my Internet connection is deeply fucked up. But hopefully later I'll have better access. And by that time, all things going according to plan, I should have some useful details to offer on the entire situation.
In the meantime -- wish me luck!
