After my article that was published here recently, one ardent reader of this publication emailed me.
His concern was about men who refuse to go for fertility checkups irrespective of the years spent in a childless marriage. His argument was that such men believe infertility is solely a woman’s problem.
He cited an anecdote from the novel Burden of Failure, in which a couple resolved for a divorce following failure to have children despite the woman’s strenuous efforts to have the husband undergo medical tests. Instead, the husband excused himself, claiming that a certain powerful man had assured him that it was his wife’s problem, even when he failed to impregnate another woman he secretly consorted with.
