Man, this pill is great.
Women can't have it both ways. I wouldn't presume to tell my wife what to do with her reproductive system, we would discuss our options and come to a mutual conclusion. There's no reason why I shouldn't be included in that process.
Most women won't trust a man to wash his own laundry, and they are going to trust him to take a pill every day?
How's that for an immature disgusting bitch trying to entrap a male? Unnngh! I thought having a child should be a joint decision between 2 consenting adults. How silly of me to be one to decide for myself if I am ready or not.
Lets see, i think this is great. I take enough pills everyday as it is, if my husband could take a pill I'd be all over it! However, I would help him remember as I'd ask him almost every day to remember, LOL!
Women will still have the same level of control they had before. They can still take the pill.
However, men will have an extra option to spare pregnancy with this.
I wonder what this will do to the presumption of paternity in a marriage? Will the law REQUIRE a woman to become pregnant by her husband? What if she unilaterally decides to go to a sperm clinic without telling the husband? Under the law in many states (see CF) he would STILL be the legal father.
Of course this MIGHT allow men to get in a faster response for that absurdly short paternity fraud period in CF and have more men NOT signing those acknowledgments of paternity.
I think the point is that women would find men will not STOP taking birth control. I bet this will have some very rapid divorces or parternity fraud types of cases.
hmmmmm, what's good for the goos is good for the gander.
wait a minute...let's rephrase.
What's good for the gander is good for the goose.
Here's a news flash, world...men already HAVE that power. It's called the "keep it in your pants" option, and is quite reliable.
So when are they going to develop a pill to let children avoid having parents? :)
Oh, I guess they already have one, it's called Prozac. Although the cause and effect are in debate, clearly there are examples how it ended up with that result.
15 years of marriage and 4 daughters later, I don't have a clue what women want.
With the rate of complaints I hear from married men about the lack of sex after children, such a pill could prove quite popular.
I surely hope, though, that men aren't having children now simply because they didn't want to wear a condom on those occasions.
One consequence will be that married men who might otherwise not stray, will feel much less restraint in regards to having affairs.
Hear, hear.
"15 years of marriage and 4 daughters later, I don't have a clue what women want."
Apparently, in your case, little girls! Congrats!
