I'm actually waiting for male birth control pills so bad

They would give men more agency on reproduction, aside from vasectomy, which is permanent, and condoms, which can rip or be intentionally poked.

Also, they can be used in couples where a woman is hesitant to take pills herself, either out of reproductive concerns (fear that pills would make them permanently sterile), or the overall influence of hormones on the body and the menstrual cycle.

The issue with pills for the man is, that he should still be able to get hard and produce (inactive) sperm, while for the woman it's relatively simple.

And trust issues, since the woman has the child then, if the man lied.

Excuse me, but birth control is not just a pill, it's the entire process that includes putting on a condom. And it's expected of guys to use condoms.

Besides that, there are pills and procedures a guy can do as birth control.

She's giving that one man an awful lot of credit assuming he can shoot a bullseye 9 times a day 365 days a year.

Well to be fair they are trying to make male protection pills

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

It's because trying to shut down what millions of sperm production a day is hard. Even one gets through and your product fails.

classic engineering mistake, trying to fix the problem where it occurs (baby popps out), instead of where it originates (baby gets put in). Can't be too mad at them for that. Everyone makes that mistake when they start out.

Not really...

On the biological level it is trying to stop millions of sperm-cells to sneak in or prevent one egg-cell from being available. In the numbers game it is less risky and more reliable to make the one cell unavailable then to try to prevent the millions from being viable. Even if you shut 99.99% of them down, you still have more risk than having 99.99% chance of preventing the one cell being available.

I'm afraid that however we want the world to be equal for man and women, the biology itself is unfair and needs a lot more time and research if you want to equalize that.

Or use the tie-off snipsnip solution. It is a bit more permanent, but is pretty reliable in preventing.

There was a post the other day pronouncing female like tamale and it made me take a while to read this post and made it a little more fun, too

[–] Jarix@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

Sex not gender.

And no she isn't
