    My female friend had a female doctor try to talk her out of a contraceptives prescription; that she was 28 and should be having babies…

    It’s not a misogyny thing, per se, rather just people that define their lives by the templates supplied by societal stereotypes. Never take advice from a person that doesn’t think for themself.

      This is literally institutional misogyny.

          are called institutional misogyny.
