I never said they had no uses! I’m glad they are effective in managing your family’s pains (I’ve experienced that as well, so I fully understand where you are coming from).
But that wasn’t really the discussion I was trying to start. I realise I made my point quite poorly.
I was lamenting the fact that because “female contraceptives” are a “solved problem”, there is basically no research or innovation in male contraceptives. See sibling thread.
- fipar 1y agoI see what you mean now, I’m afraid I misunderstood you. I never thought about male contraceptives other than condoms or a vasectomy, so I guess I’m part of the reason for the lack of research. That said, I suspect a contributing factor may be that female contraceptives can be used for other reasons (pain relief, having more predictable periods, etc) so that is also a big driving for research (some female contraceptives can be quite expensive). Of course, those side-effects are also what can make them unsuitable in many cases too.
- Yeul 1y agoMen still rape so we'll never be able to get rid of contraceptives for women. Besides women would have to trust men to take the pill.
- FalconSensei 1y ago> women would have to trust men to take the pill the same is valid the other way around.
