I’d argue that it’s dumb as fuck either way.

I don’t agree with OP’s premise either, but it’s ignorant and harmful to minimize the side effects of birth control; they can be seriously debilitating.

No. Absolutely not. As much as reducing the rate of unwanted pregnancy is important, bodily autonomy is paramount. Instead, there needs to be comprehensive sex education and effective birth control for men that isn’t as invasive as a vasectomy. That way, the burden of ensuring appropriate birth control—or its side effects—doesn’t always have to be on women.

Funnily enough, I just heard of a new birth control for men that isn’t on the market, at least yet… it’s cleverly called Plan A.

Edit: fixed the link

PS2… even though, during its last days, I had to stack half a set of encyclopedias on top to get it to run a game 😭
