So I’m assuming these aren’t the same guys who were claiming vaccines cause sterility in men?

'Snip-snip! Hooray!': 

I found that really tasteless.

Mine was quite fun,as I let my mate,a general practitioner,do it,and we had a chat about the surf,and another GP wandered in to join in the conversation.

Just a wee whiff of burning rubber,and we were done in twenty minutes.God bless the NHS.

Well, nothing can be completely negative, not even tiktok. Still I find it a little suspicious that these very limited positive influences are coming up at this precise timing.

including vaccine... related falsehoods

Like all the doctors and scientists who spoke out about it being dangerous but being called conspiracy nuts? Lol

Do we have to read about this filth?

This is the type of thing you’d find in a magazine on the top shelf of the newsagent. I though Tik Tok was mostly young people, they may be corrupted by this.

It ain't funny at all. I don't hear about any women celebrating getting a hysterectomy. How about just letting Mother Nature doing the job as you grow older? Of course that also means you be true to your mate. I guess that's too much to ask for in some people.

They may not realize that once it's done, it's done. At the same time, how do we even know the procedure is even happening at all? After all, in the early 60s Andy Warhol made a 'waist-up-only' video of a man supposedly having a sex act done on him. Was it real or not? Nobody truly knows.

Either way, glamorizing 'events' like this is disgusting, misleading, revolting and just plain SICKENING.

I find it funny. What's the big deal, it's a voluntary procedure, that people do because they want to. My friend who did it 20 years ago told me the other night it was one of the best decisions he ever made (I've been considering it for myself). A little light-heartedness isn't bad.

I don't hear about any women celebrating getting a hysterectomy.

Have you asked any? In relation to the same topic, my other friend was telling me how it has improved her life as well, just the other day. She had fibroids that were painful, and now she lives pain free, and it has improved her sex life. She certainly was celebrating it.

As a young person, the idea of pregnancy is scary as you haven't established yourself in life. Then there is a period where people want pregnancy. But after that point, the idea of pregnancy becomes scary again, because the children have been born, and people are ready to wind down their life. Reproductive ability suddenly becomes not only unnecessary, it becomes downright scary and something to be avoided, forever.

At this point in life, people do celebrate these procedures, as they have no desire for reproduction anymore, and these procedures are generally done for an improvement in quality of life.

And as an improvement in life, a little 'snip-snip' humor is just fun, nothing to be angry at.
