There have been attempts, but as far as I know they stopped due to safety issues. But I could be wrong.
1: men do have birth control. 2: this is so Ironic because women hold the majority of if not ALL the control in terms of who they have sex with. Let alone who they allow to climax inside of them without a condom. In other words they chose the outcome. They allowed it. Not including rape and other SA scenarios.
go touch grass and stop victim blaming
Yeah, neat math, but biology isn't a group project where everyone gets an equal share. Female birth control exists because it's actually doable. One egg a month is easy to manage, shutting down millions of sperm without wrecking everything else? Not so much.
And every time male birth control does make it to trials, guys tap out the second they get a mood swing or a cramp. Meanwhile, women have been tanking those side effects for decades just to keep the rest of us from multiplying like rabbits.
So no, science didn't "target the wrong gender." It just went with the one that could handle it.
Then the just and equitable thing to do would be to shift some of that burden to men to make things easier for the women that aren't able to "tank" the side effects that can include some life-threatening complications.
I would also like to point out that the leading cause of death of pregnant people in America is intimate partner homicide, so the dangers of pregnancy can also be directly caused by the male partners. Y'all need to toughen the fuck up and get your shit together to do your damn part of preventing unwanted pregnancy and calling out the bad behavior of your peers that eventually escalates to things like rape or intimate partner homicide.
Vasectomies are a great option, but there are a lot of folks who don't want a permanent birth control so they won't get a vasectomy.
She has no points
A) women are voluntarily driving 100% of demand for this drug B) if we could make it for guys, we would. C) if we did unplanned pregnancies would dry up and women's power/control of birth would change vastly for the first time in our biological history.
This screen shot is meaningless kindergarten thinking.

I’m sure this is well thought through and factual.
Ok, at the end of the day women are the ones that get pregnant. If you're living a life of one night stands, who's more at risk? The woman who's on nothing, or the guy that's just like "uhhh ya, I'm on that".
Kind of a poor way of looking at it imo. Guard your house. Don't expect the predators to guard it.
Yeah too bad DNA tests were invented after birth control, almost as if all the consequences for either party's mistake landed on one of the two sex's involved..
she's right
False
I've been saying it for years. We should stop any and all funding for erectile dysfunction. Best birth control in the world is for men to stop being able get erections.
The technology to make male birth control has been available for a long time but everything in our society is about subjugation and cruelty. That’s why we live in a rape culture run by pedofiles and rapists. It’s by design.
