79. Why should there be a law saying I have to tell my husband anything?
Are there laws that say he has to tell me information about what he does with his body?

Yes, ideally a man and woman would sit down together, have a little chat, and decide together. You've mentioned the provisions for women in "special circumstances." Fine.

Except here's the thing:
You wouldn't need those provisions if this law didn't exist in the first place because women would be making their own decisions without government involvement. But of course that would imply women are capable of making their own decisions, and we can't have that can we.

I guess I just have a really big problem with the government telling me I am REQUIRED to tell anybody other than my doctors about my medical decisions. Call me crazy.
