After decades of attempts to develop new birth control medications for men, scientists are more hopeful than ever. With new abortion restrictions, demand is growing, experts say.

We’re going to trust men with an invisible daily birth control? I don’t think so.
I’ve several ex girlfriends who fuck up taking their daily birth control and needed plan b… IDK why men would be worse tho, please explain?
They knew they missed it, chose to have sex anyway, and took steps to prevent pregnancy. You probably saw that plan b is not really fun and not something you want to do often. That’s different than someone not telling you they’re inconsistent with the med or telling you afterwards.
You can walk away. What if this were a medication that prevented HIV? Would you trust someone else without protecting yourself?
Such a weird argument. Look beyond that one use case.
In my case, I, a male, don’t want kids. I would get this. I’d still use condoms, because STDs. But in the event that they don’t work (because it can happen), at least I know that I won’t get anyone accidentally pregnant. It’s great!
it’s not an argument. it’s a belief
women = good, men = bad.
it’s a cultural bias called ‘women are wonderful’ effect. we are culturally biased to think men are bad and women are good.
It’s a protective response. People don’t generally do what is good for you unless it’s also good for them, especially at a time when ‘emotions’ are running hot.
As with any invisible or otherwise difficult to monitor birth control method, this is really only for people in dedicated relationships.
It goes both ways. A man shouldn’t trust a women he just met to be on birth control. A women should have the same reservations.
This is for people who can trust a long term partner, and who wouldn’t be destroyed by the failure of the product. And that’s still a huge market.
Why not delete the comment and respond to the right person? Not that you should at this point, but it would have taken less time than explaining it in an edit so I’m curious
I understand the upvotes, but I also understand the downvotes.
Boys are, in general, dumb. But some are malicious.
Be careful out there.
so are women.
it’s almost as one’s stupidity and malaciousness has nothing to do with their sex or gender…
It’s for relationships. if you’re with a new partner use condoms.
This is why Grindr has a Stat for when you were last tested. Straight dating platforms should have it too imo
