Just to be a pedantic math-geek, your chances are just over 26%.

Other than that, I agree with you - revenge on those "half of the population"
who're
just out for more kids is the last motivation we need. How about "reversible
vasectomies don't make guys moody or depressed every 28 days due to wacky
hormones" or "yet another useful barrier to decrease the odds of pregnancy" or
"take
some of the responsibility for non-condom methods because condoms are fallable,
expensive and/or cause allergic reactions." No need to dip into mysoginistic
incorrect freudian theories about what women really want.

On the other hand, I'd like a bit more control over my destiny, in case I ever
do end
up making a drastically bad decision and end up sleeping with an actual devious,
conniving woman who pokes holes in condoms or something even nastier. I'm
pretty
sure there's 2 or 3 women like that in the world, and I don't like those odds.
