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.

The Lemmycels are pretty angry at this one, but on the other hand it's pretty silly to trust dudes with birth control when you're the one that gets pregnant.

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.

Dumb. It's a lot easier to stop one egg a month, than zillions of sperm multiple times a day. Simple as that.

[-] Taleya@aussie.zone 6 points 1 month ago

Condoms are a lot cheaper than the pill and don't come with side effects

Not only that, there's an interruptible cycle of egg release. There's no regular interruptible cycle in men.

Maybe you should just count yourself lucky that you get to control your own fertility. In civilized countries at least.

[-] Captainautism@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 month ago

That’s quickly coming to an end.

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.

[-] medgremlin@midwest.social 3 points 1 month ago

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.

Nice try mr. pervert, you were trying to make me think about a woman nine months pregnant getting plowed nine times in a row.

Those 9 men could prevent women getting pregnant by cumming in me instead.

It's not like they haven't tried. Most men would love to be able to ensure they don't get snared. 😉

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.

[-] LorIps@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

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 wether or not they wanted to get pregnant.

[-] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Technically, men's sperm takes some time between three days to two weeks as it travels up from the testees to the seminal vesicles, and before that it takes something like 72 days for sperm to be made in the testees via spermatogenesis (although this process is constant regardless of number of ejaculations), meaning that while technically a man could impregnate 9 women a day, realistically a man couldn't because after the first few their viable sperm count would drastically falter.

[-] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 4 points 1 month ago

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.

Fr, no worries anymore!

[-] michaelmrose@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

So in this imaginary never ending orgy it would still make sense for the women to take the pill because if 99% of the men do the other 1% will somehow make every single women pregnant.

[-] MehBlah@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Back when I was younger and on the road all the time I would have loved to have a pill that guaranteed I didn't have a critical hit. But even at my peak nine times a day would have had me pushing rope.

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.
