male birth control was like, the first birth control we invented? condoms?

Also vasectomies are stupid easy to perform, and even if you change your mind afterwards, all your baby making stuff is still present. They can completely reverse a vasectomy within 5 -7 years, and after that, IVF. Anyone who reads this meme as misandrist either lacks reading comprehension or is wildly misogynist.

I'm talking male birth control pills. Condoms aren't really effective enough to be birth control on their own

I mean, is 98% effective not effective enough?

I personally wouldn't want a male birth control pill, because I'd have to remember to take it, and it'd inevitably have unforeseen side effects. Add into that the hassle of getting it paid for through insurance, having to go to a doctor for it, what if that one doesn't work, gotta try a different one, each time you have to commit to taking that pill for several months to ensure your body adjusts to it before you can rule it out... what a nightmare! Nah, I'll just wrap my willy until it's time for a vasectomy.

I've gotten someone pregnant before with a condom so my experience is different than yours I guess ha
