Professor Hamilton's equivocation of "prostate surgery treatments" to male birth control has, at this point in her article, relegated her to the bowels of abject ignorance, and her philippic starving for authenticity and factualness. Generally, when a male has "prostate surgery treatment," his prostate is removed because it is cancerous. This generally leaves him sterile, but so does the barring of funding for the surgery, as Professor Hamilton suggests, since generally all men left to die of prostate cancer become sterile after death, the ultimate birth control measure. This is an interesting parallel, nonetheless, since untreated ovarian cancer in women can lead to birth control measures through death also. I am certain that the majority of obstetricians would find it interesting that Professor Hamilton, via her parallel, has diagnosed pregnancy as a type of sexual dysfunction.
