    Can’t wait for the flood of people telling us why this isn’t feasible for men to take and insisting that when a SAFE and 100% EFFECTIVE form is ready they’ll surely take it.

      On another platform, yep.

      It’s good to see an alternative, even though it’s going to be caught up in the precious fragile masculinity discussion.

      You know what’s insane? Handing out hormonal birth control to 14 year old girls. Also, having women take hormones for decades on end.

        Honestly I don’t see why any person would want to force someone else to take hormones as a contraceptive when non-hormonal contraceptives work. And the fact that it’s pill form makes it super easy. Literally not even an inconvenience. Just toss it back in the morning. Boom. Done.

        Hormones will fuck you up.

      It’s feasible for men to take.
      But it’s absolutely not feasible for women to trust a men who says he’s taking it.

      So it is a good option for family planning of married couples (where the man is legally responsible for any children he might conceive).
      But not for casual sex.

        In no way was the original comment even trying to imply anything about women trusting men. So I’m a little confused about this response.
