Technically, men’s sperm takes some time between three days to two weeks as it travels up from the testees to the seminal vesicles, and before that it takes something like 72 days for sperm to be made in the testees via spermatogenesis (although this process is constant regardless of number of ejaculations), meaning that while technically a man could impregnate 9 women a day, realistically a man couldn’t because after the first few their viable sperm count would drastically falter.
She is making a GREAT point

1: men do have birth control. 2: this is so Ironic because women hold the majority of if not ALL the control in terms of who they have sex with. Let alone who they allow to climax inside of them without a condom. In other words they chose the outcome. They allowed it. Not including rape and other SA scenarios.

Reminds me of the joke: If you have a a key that can open thousands of locks, then that is what you’d call a master key.
However if you have a lock that can be opened by a thousand keys…

Just use condoms and don’t hookup with random people. No pills needed for any gender. They are harmful.

Ok, at the end of the day women are the ones that get pregnant. If you’re living a life of one night stands, who’s more at risk? The woman who’s on nothing, or the guy that’s just like “uhhh ya, I’m on that”.
Kind of a poor way of looking at it imo. Guard your house. Don’t expect the predators to guard it.

It’s not rocket science, it’s much easier to prevent one egg from being fertilized than to stop a hoard sperm from fertilizing…

I’ve been saying it for years. We should stop any and all funding for erectile dysfunction. Best birth control in the world is for men to stop being able get erections.

Alright men here’s what we do:
1: Once you had your kid(s), if you want to have them someday, get snipped. It’s no big deal and you’ll both be A LOT more relaxed.
2: Don’t be a fucking rapist.
Why tf are we talking about the pills thing.

Guys should really be the primary ones to enforce it on other guys like this. It’s sad that girls end up dealing with the brunt of it.

The funny thing is, we have the options. It is a matter of choosing to use them. More options always better, solutions already exist.

It’s only about subjugation and cruelty. That’s why we live in a rape culture run by pedofiles and rapists. It’s by design

Medical science is not that black and white.
Think about birth control in terms of preventing death and disfigurement. Men don’t die from pregnancy, women do.
When women take birth control, it has the upside of not dying in pregnancy, having horrific pain in the process, or permanent changes to their body. Birth control has a lot of side effects, but at the end of the day, the maternal mortality rate of women who take birth control is far lower.
The reason why medical trials for male birth has been put on hold before, is because when weighing the side effects vs benefits of male birth control, men did not have to weight against death and suffering through pregnancy. Thus, the justification for male birth control requires a much higher bar.
While discrimination against women is prevalent in medicine, this isn’t as simple as an instance of dismissing male birth control because men didn’t like it. The process through which new modern medicines are vetted requires comparing the positive and negative outcomes of a medication, and that doesn’t necessarily take gender dynamics into account.

AquaTofana@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I, as a pro-birth control/pro-choice lady, believe lady-oriented birth control has nothing to do with that (perhaps naiively).
Pregnancy, even the healthiest, safest ones, are hard on our bodies. That means that anything that prevents them is theoretically better than if we’re constantly/repeatedly pregnant. Even if its harmful for mental health or long term effects on organs. Pregnancy fucks us up outright both mentally and physically. Like day one.
Obviously I’m simplyifying a bit, but you understand the gist of my logic.
Men dont have HAVE to deal with pregnancy, period, so anything that introduces harm, even minutely, is automatically a worse quality-of-life option for them.
Am I pro-male birth control? Hell yeah I am. I just recognize that they’re giving up more than we would be to accept the same risks, given that they dont have to experience pregnancy to begin with, and I dont trust/expect them to do that.
Therefore, it makes logical sense to me that we’re the ones targeted.

Can’t females develop antibodies that destroy the sperm?
Evolutionary skill issue
SpaceCadet@feddit.nl 1 month ago
Preventing conception would be a genetic trait that evolution selects against.
A woman with your theoretical anti-conception genetic mutation would not reproduce, so this mutation dies out immediately.
Harbinger01173430@lemmy.world 1 month ago
But an antibody they can dispatch on a whim, rather than automatically
kadaverin0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 month ago
I’ve never wanted children and got a vasectomy in my early 30s. I think a lot of men don’t do this because they have this cartoonish belief that it makes them less of a man to shoot blanks or the erroneous belief that they’re family lineage is so god damned important that they’re obligated to continue it.
1rre@discuss.tchncs.de 1 month ago
Or they just don’t know if they’ll want to raise children later…
Sure you could say they should adopt, but they may see some value in the experience of supporting their partner as they go through childbirth in forming a bond to the child.

qaatloz@feddit.nl 1 month ago
Not really…
On the biological level it is trying to stop millions of sperm-cells to sneak in or prevent one egg-cell from being available. In the numbers game it is less risky and more reliable to make the one cell unavailable then to try to prevent the millions from being viable. Even if you shut 99.99% of them down, you still have more risk than having 99.99% chance of preventing the one cell being available.
I’m afraid that however we want the world to be equal for man and women, the biology itself is unfair and needs a lot more time and research if you want to equalize that.
Or use the tie-off snipsnip solution. It is a bit more permanent, but is pretty reliable in preventing.
Paddzr@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Can we use proper terminology? Vasectomy is pretty much permanent. Low chance of reverting it and its also likely won’t be available for free.
I’ve done it, no regrets and if someone is “done” with having kids? No brainer.
I’ve seen how my wife is affected by even the less intrusive options. They ALL suck. That’s what we should talk about. Female contraception has downsides. Even the copper coil has side effects. Anything with hormones? Forget it, the side effects from those could be permanent.
I went full circle. Honestly, condoms truly are the best protection available. We were young, we didn’t like them, no one does. But beats having to deal with the alternatives.
