I imagine he has a guilty conscience because he was a dick and he feels better about himself if he imagines it's all an inevitable consequence of his being male. Brainwashed sure but probably also a jerk.

I've know cases where the fault was clearly the wife's, and others where it clearly was the husband's. It is more likely to be the later. There atre many cases however where both are at fault. Some people should have the license to use their gonads taken away. Wouldn't it be wonderful if it was possible to suppress people's reproductive functions until they displayed adequate maturity?

My wife works in the field professionally, Kid. You got propoganda, I know of no accepted theory with that kind of BS. Somebody is playing agneda-driven pseudo-science. To quote my wife's doctoral chair, "Show me the numbers" i.e. show some statistical significance. This guy is agenda driven and warping some factoids to fit whatever he believes (as in faith) versus knows (as in fact). Jettison the incompetent immediately, therapists like that do more harm than good.

Science Fiction has dealt with that (limiting the right to reproduce) in many variations, and the technology is actually there. While there are problems, with enough work it is highly likely they could be worked out. For men it would be implanted magnetic actuated (from the outside) valves in the vas deferens, the ducts that transport sperm from your scrotum. There were scarring problems, but with a focused program those could largely be beaten.
For women you could easily have implanted birth control, either Norplant that had technical problems (too many shoddy jobs implanting or removing it) that were not an issue per se with the technology, or this from consumer reports.
quote:
That’s not the case with the newest IUD, Mirena. “It’s highly effective, completely reversible, and makes periods lighter and less crampy,” says Mitchell Creinin, M.D., professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Pittsburgh. The reason is that Mirena releases a steady trickle of the hormone progestin, which over time thins the uterine lining so that it can’t support a pregnancy. It lasts for five years, but a woman can have it removed at any time and she doesn’t have to wait before trying to get pregnant. |
The kicker is who decides when to turn it on, what are the criteria, etc. Do you want someone determining, for example, that if you believe in any corporal punishment, for example spanking, you are unfit. Or that if you are a loving same-sex couple you cannot have children - oops, we already do that to a certain degree.  Whatever the case, it opens up a really big can of worms.
