On the one hand I appreciate the joke you're making (and I have a canned rant about how difficult our society makes it for women to be electively sterilized), but on the other... I have seen people defend the forced sterilization of Black and Latina women, and/or say that we should be given incentives to be sterilized. I've had more than one person tell me personally that since I'm a Black woman society would be better off if I didn't have children.(Obviously you don't agree with those bigots -- I bring this up because those discussions are part of the concept of eugenics as practiced and praised in the US.)
