Taking hormones can also be a significant positive, depends on the person.
Comment on She is making a GREAT point

It’s the woman who’d get pregnant and who doesn’t want to. Should she rely on whether the men took their pills correctly? Taking hormones sucks for many women, but they’re happy to be able to have birth control in their hands.

Yes, but this is not about the poll having positive side effects.

What are you talking about?

Yeah, I think people forget why the pill was such a game changer: It allowed women, without the permission or knowledge of their husband/sexual partner, to decide wether or not they wanted to get pregnant.

Should there be an temporary contraceptive for men? Yes, it gives agency to men and also provides an alternative to women who can’t use female contraception for a multitude of reasons.
Will that be preferred by all women? Hell no

It’s called a condom.

It would be great if there was an alternative to them.
For people in trusting long-term relationships who want to have sex without a condom on.
So that the burden of birth control doesn’t default to the woman altering her hormonal balance.

I don’t understand the downvotes. Condoms are great.

Please do not eat the condom.
