[quote=Adebisi][quote=scaredycat]we cannot declare victory until a male birth control exists[/quote]

This is desperately needed and I can’t believe it hasn’t been invented yet. Instead of the woman secretly going off birth control in order to entrap a man with an unplanned (by him) pregnancy, it would be the man secretly going on birth control.

“Beats me. I don’t know why you can’t get pregnant. I guess we’ll just have to keep trying.” Male BC would totally shift the balance of power between men and women.

Until this is invented, no way can women claim that medicine is geared towards primarily serving mens’ needs.[/quote]

I have a buddy, he had a vasectomy after his first divorce. Met a flight attendant, she fell for him.
They got married, she was talking about the plans
to have kids, that sort of thing.

I asked him “Dude, didn’t you have a clipjob?”
he said “Yes, but it’s the best sex i’ve ever had.
Do you think i want to stop that?”

later when she wasn’t getting pregnant she insisted
he go see a fertility doctor. He sat down at the
beginning and looked the doctor in the eye
and said “Doc, I know how this test is going to come out. It’s going to read bad. You need to understand I was a CIA assassin, and will kill you
unless you say the following to my wife. ‘ Cassie,
Bill has a low count, but i’ve seen low before and people still have kids, it’s more a matter of time and luck for people. Just keep on trying and keep up hope'”

The doc told his wife exactly that. But about 3 years later she divorced his ass anyways, so,
it’s not a perfect scheme.
