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.

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.

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.

How does this unscientific instagram vomit has 500 votes on lemmy? Are we turning into reddit?

I'm not sure who's she targeting because I know a lot of guys who would love to have birth control pills.

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

Not everything is a conspiracy against women

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

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.

Later that night:

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.

Counterpoint: a woman taking birthcontrol is empowered because she is taking charge of her own reproduction. She doesn't have to rely on or trust the man to take his pill. After all, she would be the one bearing most of the burden in case of an unwanted pregnancy.

Additionally, purely biologically it is much easier to reliably stop conception on the female side than on the male side. A woman only produces one egg cell per month, whereas a man produces millions of sperm cells per day.

The most commonly produced, available, and used birth control method worldwide is the latex condom, used by everyone who has a penis. Try again.

Cumming 9 times a day??

Nah, this isn't a great point at all.... even at face value really.

Put slightly differently, if we're assuming people sleep around as much as the text implies, if we focus on birth control solely for men, then one 'failure'/non-controlled man would result in a ton of pregnancies. If the onus is on women, then one 'failure'/non-controlled woman would result in one pregnancy.

If the numbers were correct and your aim was to reduce pregnancies, you could prevent 90% of pregnancies by getting roughly 90% of sexually active women to take the pill. Getting 99.95% of sexually active men to take the pill would have NO effect whatsoever on the pregnancy rate, because the remaining 1 in 2000 men would continue to meet and impregnate a woman roughly once every hour for roughly 12 hours a day (with breaks for food and resting his dick a tiny bit) for 9 months straight, with time to visit 430 women a second time in case these miracle impregnators somehow didn't always impregnate on first meeting a woman. (This would very drastically reduce diversity in the gene pool and the world would be very very very badly interbred within two generations.)

But of course humans don't behave like the numbers suggest AT ALL, thank goodness.

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.

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.

Why stop at 9

I think if I busted a nut 9 times a day, I would just simply just vanish.

It's easier to prevent ovulation of one egg than stop a billion sperm cells from reaching their destination. Stop politicising biology.

9!? You think I can cum 9 times a day!? And apparently hit the egg every fucking time too? I don't mean to question the conclusion because I think birth control should be both parties' responsibility, but I think your premise reveals a distinct lack of grasp on biological reality. Why stop at 9? Why not 900? Really drive your point home! My dick is going to be useless after number 2 or 3 anyway.

me: laughs in vasectomy

Someone tell her condoms exist and it's men's job to buy and wear them. Prevention is both genders responsibility. If they make a pill for men I'll happily take it.

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.

You still need it.

When you see a driver running a red light, you still brake even if your light is green.

Just FYI after the 5th one I'm just cumming air at that point, but if there are 2,430 women out there who want to give it a try anyway be my guest.

9 times per day... So ok. You know how women love to give men shit for having a poor understanding is basic female biology? This is that.

The one who gets pregnant should probably take the birth control, as pregnancy would be more bothersome for them than for the other person.

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