Stop Saying Snip!

Autor Jenna Vinson
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 apr 2026
In the US, the most common contraceptive methods rely on women’s time, labor, and vulnerability to risk. Comparatively few people rely on vasectomies as a means of preventing pregnancies. Something is happening rhetorically—through meaning-making symbols and the material practices they manifest—that sustains a collective disinterest in vasectomies. Jenna Vinson draws from her feminist rhetorical study of thirty-seven television and film representations, health insurance policies, and interviews with seventeen people who have experienced vasectomy, surfacing barriers to vasectomy uptake, including problematic tropes and practices that keep vasectomy unappealing, out of mind, and inaccessible. Stop Saying Snip! also illustrates tactics and circumstances that lead people to get a vasectomy, sharing real vasectomy stories and showing that women often play an important (and until now unheeded or pathologized) role in this communication process. This book intervenes in the misogynistic cultural expectation that it is women’s responsibility to endure the pain, labor, and risks of managing fertility by identifying the rhetorics that make men’s reproductive bodies seem unnatural sites for pregnancy prevention work. Fostering a persuasive vision of vasectomy is an urgent project that contributes to the movement toward reproductive justice.

Descriere

Stop Saying Snip! argues that contemporary rhetoric of vasectomy interferes with the broader movement for reproductive justice. This book intervenes in the misogynistic expectation that it is women’s responsibility to endure the pain, labor, and risks of managing fertility by offering a feminist rhetorical critique of the communication practices that make men’s reproductive bodies seem unnatural sites for pregnancy prevention interventions.
