and no sane woman should believe that, because if she will later find the guy was lying, it is not going to be the guy having to deal with the consequence. so it is quite stupid take.
Comment on She is making a GREAT point

I’m not sure who’s she targeting because I know a lot of guys who would love to have birth control pills.

If you’re having sex with random, unknown, untrusted people, you better use a condom anyway, because pregnancy isn’t the worst thing that can happen, so the point is kinda moot anyway.

not every situation is as extreme as you make it and while you have a point, it doesn’t make mine invalid

What? You could say that when reversed, but until proven otherwise, women have every rights and the power to chose what happens, unlike men who don’t have a say

I don’t know where you live but in the north, women usually control their bodies and may chose to keep the baby or not, regardless of the father’s opinion

Who decides if the baby is born? Certainly not the father. And once she has decided it means HE has no choice in the matter.

No sane person should leave something that important to the sole responsibility of someone else no matter who they are.

It ain’t like pharma ain’t been trying to make male birth control pills. Lord knows they’d love the extra money.
But it turns out to be damn difficult to get right.

They have made it. Had human trials with effects that killed the trials.
Most of the men in the trials wanted to keep taking it so their partners didn’t have to bear that burden alone.

They’re referring to this one back in 2016, but the caveat was that it had the same side effects as women’s birth control. Since the patient being prescribed isn’t the one who will experience negative health outcomes without the medications, the harm of those side effects was deemed by researchers (not the patients themselves) to be greater than the risk of impregnating someone else.
Other hornonal options have come out since then, though not on the consumer market afaik, like this hormonal gel and this pill.
More recently its been done without hormones by blocking a vitamin A metabolite that signals the production of sperm.
You’re the one “politicising biology” by using it to dismiss this out of hand without even the most basic level of research or respect for the complexity of the topic.
