My female friend had a female doctor try to talk her out of a contraceptives prescription; that she was 28 and should be having babies...

It's not a misogyny thing, per se, rather just people that define their lives by the templates supplied by societal stereotypes. Never take advice from a person that doesn't think for themself.

Doing something permanent at 28 could be shortsighted and I would agree with the doctor in that case but surely a prescription is just temporary? I don't see why the doctor would advice against it

Because the doctor is stuck in the mindset that women are baby factories and they should be that above whatever else they want to do in life.
