While I agree that it is unfair that it's so much easier for men to get snipped, I don't think it's 100% sexism. A vasectomy is a fairly easy procedure, and fairly easily reversed. Tubal ligation, and especially hysterectomy, is a lot more complicated. Tubal Reversal sure seems a bit trickier and carries a much heightened risk of ectopic pregnancy. Hysterectomy, is of course, irreversible.
While it initially seems very sexist, I doubt that doctors advise against it because they are sexist. The only real thing to blame is biology and the fact that the female reproductive system is more complex, and harder to get to than the male's.

Vasectomies run at a 50-70 percent success rate, and can cost anywhere from $7,000 to $35,000. Sperm rates drop to lower levels, if you get the reversal, the sooner the better, the reversal can, itself, reverse. Sperm mutations are reported. Higher rates of birth defects have been found too.
