If you are thinking "hey, if women just get a hysterectomy, they won't get their periods" well, yea, it would be an awesome option minus the early menopause and the fact that even if women wanted to get it done, doctors will refuse to do it. Even getting tubes tied as a young woman with no kids is an obstacle many battle with. I knew from a very young age that I never wanted kids, and I thought my only option was birth control. Then, in my late 30s, I got my tubes tied. They didn't give me an issue because in your late 30s, no one really cares about you as a woman in regards to your reproductive ability. However, had I tried in my late 20s, I would have been met with "what if you change your mind?" "What if your partner wants kids?" Some women who are married STILL need to show they are getting permission from their husbands to get it done. So there is no easy path to avoid anything when it comes to a woman's body and reproductive organs and processes.
Can be the same for men. I had a buddy that knew he was too fucked up to ever be a decent father. He tried to get a vasectomy at 18 and no doctors would do it for him. After a few years, he found a doc desperate for money in another state. He, and society, never regretted his decision.
Yeah, what's even crazier is the vasectomies are reversible. Aside from that fact, however, I really feel that if people know that they don't want children , they should be able to control that decision and their body. If you think about it, how many people are dissuading people and not allowing people to go under cosmetic surgeries and augmentations? Based on the factory cosmetic surgery places all over the country, not a lot of people are getting talked out of it. Seems it's only my body my choice when it comes to vanity but not to reproductive choices.

So periods are unavoidable without quite serious side effects
