Uhh this is important because the onus and health risks of contraceptives have been entirely shouldered by women. Not because a very low percentage of men have been “coerced” into fatherhood.
There’s lots of comments in this thread on the risks of cancer and this and that risk with male contraceptives. meanwhile, these are already real issues women have to consider when using modern day hormonal contraceptives. The discourse in this thread is so dude-centric tone deaf.
- bruce343434 1y ago> Not because a very low percentage of men have been “coerced” into fatherhood. This dismissal is in bad taste and detracts significantly from the rest of your points made.
- perching_aix 1y agoSorry that a thread on male contraception is dude-centric? How is what you bring up a reason for men not to discuss these things?
- Traubenfuchs 1y agoDiscussions around pregnancy, childbirthbirth and raising children are very gynocentric and minimising men. They are disregarding men having to face a disproportionate economic burden paired with lower (often, NO) rights to have a say. For example, even if they desire abortion, women can force men to pay alimony. Another example would be the common paternity testing prohibition, allowing women to plant cuckoo children as they see fit. Pharmaceutical contraception for men gives then back their reproductive rights.
