This is just logically wrong.

If birth control was only made for men, and 90% of men were on birth control, you could end up with far more pregnancies than if it’s for women and 90% of women were on it.

The conclusion is exactly the opposite of the argument.

I don’t understand you logic. Are you saying the remaining 10% of men would impregnate a disproportionate amount of women?

  By the logic of the image, yes.

  Yes. Because 10% of men is enough to impregnate all the women.

    I mean there’s condoms, and there’s not ejaculating inside women. If you don’t want the risk of being a father, those are things you can control.

    Not ejaculating inside is risky and not 100% reliable, but it surely gets the odds in your favor indeed

    For what it is worth, my son was the result of the mother deciding where I would ejaculate through the use of “in the moment” physical force. So no, it was not really something I could control (though the risk of being there was my doing I understand).

    Besides, I believe there have been drug trials for hormonal birth control for men, but they never got approved.
    
    Take with this a mountain of salt though, I need to check my sources. I’ll update later if I can find them again.

    Oh I see. In my head, the 10% of men weren’t having sex with 100% of women either way.
    
    I assumed the number of partners they had wouldn’t change.

  Yes, that’s exactly the point of the post in the first place, 1 man can impregnate many women, a woman can’t get impregnated (contemporary) by many men

    But a woman can deny as many potential pregnancies. The count ignores women who are already pregnant, both as men or women

    Idk why I got downvoted. I just don’t understand, I’m not trying to make a point.
    
    I meant the 10% of men aren’t having more sex to make up for the 90% that are on birth control. They would be having the same amount of sex either way.
    
    Maybe I’m over thinking it.
