Beyond conception men have no reproductive rights at all. "They should come out with one for men to reduce stress for women. i don’t know why women have to endure so much to not have a baby or get a disease. inresponsetolilli, October 30, 2008 at 1:26 pm" Reducing stress for women is not a legitimate reason for making a pill. Yes, the pill made your acne worse, but if you were a guy you would've been more likely to have bad acne anyway (testosterone). And the reason women endure so much to not have a baby or get a disease is because they *are* women. Men don't get to choose to have a baby, nor do they get anywhere near the amount of sexual offers the average woman does. There are upsides and downsides for both sexes. If you woke up tomorrow as a boy, you may find that you no longer have to worry about getting pregnant... because nobody wants to sleep with you. “its about time men have to take some responsibility too. im tired of suffering the emtional physical burrden of preventing pregnacy alone

She has a increased risk of blood clotting so she is not allowed to take anything with hormones(i.e. birth control, etc). This would be great for my wife and I.

I just think of the consequences when a man controls birth of a child and he forgets the pill only once, then his girl will be pregnant, not he will be pregnant. so why don't we try to even realise a pregnacy for men? ;-) By the way, women mostly say that the pill reduces acne (oestrogen is responsible). In contrast to that, testosterone in a pill for man could in a certain amount increase acne because the level of testosterone is responsible for acne. Nice article, good to read!..

I hope they are doing very careful tests on many generations of mice and report the results honestly.
