A 22-year-old woman sparked a debate on TikTok when she claimed that her gynecologist refused to consider her for a tubal ligation – a medical sterilisation commonly known as “getting your tubes tied” – after asserting that she doesn’t want children. Now, the viral video has women calling out the sexist double standards they face after deciding to be childfree.
Olivia Downs – a college student from Massachusetts – went viral when she reenacted a conversation she claimed to have with her gynecologist in a video that has since gained more than 1.7m views.
