Nah, this isn't a great point at all.... even at face value really.
Put slightly differently, if we're assuming people sleep around as much as the text implies, if we focus on birth control solely for men, then one 'failure'/non-controlled man would result in a ton of pregnancies. If the onus is on women, then one 'failure'/non-controlled woman would result in one pregnancy.
Weird how it seems like it's all for women and safe sex but then criticizes a tool women have to checks notes take control of their sex lives and make decisions about getting pregnant.
Non-surgical birth control options for women tend to come with a lot of side effects and a number of risks that don't always outweigh the benefit. Hormonal birth control can cause tons of problems for the women taking them and some of them are associated with life-threatening side effects like increased risk of clotting leading to DVTs, PEs, and strokes.
Yes, and male birth control doesn't solve these problems because the only way to be 100% sure is to be on birth control yourself, especially important with huge chunks of the US banning abortions
Cumming 9 times a day??
Nowhere does it say you have to limit yourself to that
I got snipped so my wife didn't have to do the hormonal bullshit. Her doctor is putting her back in it because women's bodies literally do not want them to be happy.
How does this unscientific instagram vomit has 500 votes on lemmy? Are we turning into reddit?
I not sure I can impregnate 9 women in a day but I'm willing to participate in a scientific study to find out if anyone is doing that.
For nine months.
That's because hormonal birth control for women takes advantage of existing biological processes to prevent pregnancy.
Men don't have any known biological processes that can be utilized like that, although it's been consistently studied for decades.
I had thought that another part of it was the levels of harm compared to the problem; getting pregnant is incredibly stressful and possibly harmful, up to and including death as a possibility. A medicine that can stop that but has side affects that are less harmful than pregnancy is a lot more palatable. Whereas, for men, the harm caused by pregnancy is zero, so any harm caused by the pill is weighed a lot heavier.
Also we have condoms too so i don't get what everyone is talking about
The most commonly produced, available, and used birth control method worldwide is the latex condom, used by everyone who has a penis. Try again.
Later that night:
9!? You think I can cum 9 times a day!? And apparently hit the egg every fucking time too? I don't mean to question the conclusion because I think birth control should be both parties' responsibility, but I think your premise reveals a distinct lack of grasp on biological reality. Why stop at 9? Why not 900? Really drive your point home! My dick is going to be useless after number 2 or 3 anyway.
"hit the egg" 🤣😂😭
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.
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 whether 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.
Dumb. It's a lot easier to stop one egg a month, than zillions of sperm multiple times a day. Simple as that.
Condoms are a lot cheaper than the pill and don't come with side effects
Many people of any gender find sex much less enjoyable with a condom.
You know what's a lot less enjoyable than sex with a condom? Everything it prevents
Sure but you can't argue that Condoms don't have side effects when the clear and obvious side effect is that sex is less enjoyable.
Not only that, there's an interruptible cycle of egg release. There's no regular interruptible cycle in men.
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.
I'm not sure who's she targeting because I know a lot of guys who would love to have birth control pills.
