If the side effects are the same as the female pill (which apparently they are) then it should be made available because if women can take it and deal with it then men should be given the option as well. That's assuming that the situations are comparable of course, if the male pill has for more severe side effects then maybe not.
Right. The side-effects were some of the same ones that women experience--depression, altered sex drive, and acne for the most part, but also a few cases of temporarily infertility (which women experience too, often permanently). On top of that, women have also been known to experience blood clots, irregular periods, missed periods, spotting, vaginal discharge, PMS, etc. So the study garnered pretty normal results when you consider what women experience.

 Imagine if one of the side effects for men was peeing out blood clots!

It'd be less weird than buying a box of condoms at Target.
Buying condoms when you have to be served by someone is the worst. Usually I go through the self-serve machines at the supermarket, which is great because you can be discreet. But whenever I've been somewhere that isn't an option, I'll buy a few other things I don't need so I can go to the counter and not just put the box down by itself. It's so stupid and I know they probably don't care but still....

So yeah, I'd be all for this.
One time when purchasing condoms I told them I was going to the zoo with them :lol: oh my god. I think I truly have no self-shame.

As for male birth control... why not? Condoms prevent STD's, the shots and the pills for women work. But what are the specifics of the new birth control methods for men? I could read this whole topic but I'll do a little research and update later. :p Though I certainly don't see why I'd change my mind. Let people do what they want to do.

Just a pill? Interesting. Publish it. I wouldn't want to risk being infertile myself... but, hell, someone's gotta try it.

What women choose to do to their body is of their own volition, i'm not a part of that responsibility.

To counter that, it's more than just a "choice of their own volition." In a sense, yes, it is a choice to take birth control, but it's become more of a societal norm for women to maintain the responsibility of preventing pregnancy. I don't see why it's such a bad idea for men to have that same option. And like you mentioned, condoms are definitely not the same.
"Reporters covering this - many of whom likely did not trouble themselves with actually reading the study ... neglected to mention that some consequences were actually quite serious. Among those serious consequences was the lowering of sperm counts and, in one man, possible irreversible infertility."

That's from the article you linked, and you're asking me why it's such a bad idea? Men shouldn't feel pressured into taking something that could ruin their lives, just because women want men to have their fair share. That's a piss poor mentality. Who exactly in society are you saying is responsible for this "pressure" women feel?

I'm open to the idea of male birth control, but it clearly needs more work, and we shouldn't just settle for side effects equivalent to what females have endured, that's quite petty, we should be striving for better. Progress is key.
