Have also heard people talking about giving men vasectomies at 16 (people who don't understand they can't actually be undone)
FWIW I've only seen that used to illustrate how ridiculous it is that we find it essentially normal to have laws controlling what women can do with their reproductive systems but not men. I've not seen a single credible example of someone seriously suggesting this.
I've known a person who took that seriously and thought it was a good idea
I mean, yes, I'm sure there are people who do. There are people who think the earth is flat. They don't influence policy though.
Edit - my point is, no one is coming for your testes, and knowing someone who thinks it's a good idea is no better an example here than it would be for me to say I'm worried a flat earther is going to influence space exploration policy.
Fair point
