There is good news for all women around the world. A study has found that male sperm production can be temporarily halted and can be considered as a mean for male contraception. There have been many projects going on in the search for a male contraception like oral, RISUG and heat methods. Unlike vasectomy and other forms of permanent means, these methods give us women hope in our race for equality. I mean if men want to genuinely take part in the responsibility. Why should only women keep taking a pill every single day? Seriously you men folks, how many of you would take a pill if there was one available probably like this one? One another question arises even if there is a contraception method available for men. Yes, the big question of trust. It is perceivable that we will be relieved from the worry of becoming pregnant but can we really trust a man to use the methods? I won’t. It is simple. It is not them who have to carry a baby for 9 months. Why should they worry? It is not them who have to do most of the caring and nappy changes like a mother does. So why should they worry? Even in this civilized times it is us women who take the most of the burden of motherhood. Seriously, all fathers out there, will you consider taking a pill if it is available?

Seriously, isn't it time modern women came out and stopped giving those good old one liners about having a baby and "it's burdens"? Isn't it time you stopped waving that "only women can give birth" flag all over the place? This is not the stone age when the toughest part of having a baby was giving birth to it. There is more to it than that. Pregnancy takes 9 months but the responsibility does not end there. These days it takes the next 20 years of responsibility to make that child ready to face the world alone. And it is not just the mother who takes that responsibility, it is the father too. It is not just the mother who loves the baby, worries over the baby, cares for the baby, changes it's diapers, keeps awake the whole night carrying it cos it refuses to sleep. I know because I have done it.
You can't blame men for the way God or nature made you, whichever of the two you choose to believe. But if the man you chose to have the baby with does not share the responsibility of raising that child with you, then it is not men in general that is to blame. It is you who chose a bad partner to share it with. It is your responsibility to choose someone who will share it with you.
The popularity of female contraceptive methods is not a conspiracy against women's liberation. It is time you got over that inferiority complex. Female contraceptive methods are more popular because it so happens that research has shown that these methods are more successful. Failure of condoms is higher than failure of OCPs for example.
It is only in recent years that male contraceptive methods are being perfected. And it is still not perfect. But the day that there is a 100% sure male contraceptive pill and you cannot trust your man to take it daily, then the issue is a matter of trust between you and your partner, not a matter of men making women inferior.
There are other safer and more practical ways i've heard of ...
Hell ... every1's heard of 'em ...
hehe ...
I wholly agree with truthcures. I've been there done that myself - twice!
if you make a baby with a good-for-nothing prick that's not a problem with men in general - it is just bad choice of man.
Both Truthcures and Simon as well has missed missy's point here.
Hi Truthcures: I am bloody serious as well. I am not complaining us having to have babies. Only complaining about men not taking the full or shared responsibility and about discrimination that still persists in this world and what makes it stick around. Of course there is more to it than just giving birth. It is easy to say that responsibility has to be taken by fathers as well. Well show it by action i say.Having just one or 2 sleep less night does not contribute to being responsible. Thats what i am saying.The comment you made about choosing a "good partner" nearly cracked me up. It is not about choice that is the problem. It is the attitude of men (not all)that worries me. Sad to say but men like you who would jump in saying that it is the women who CHOSE the man is to blame is where the problem lies. It is always women who are to blame for all the atrocities carried out in this world including not rearing good children, not being a good wife, not being good in bed, not being honest to husband and the list can go on. They unconsciously belittle women so much that they are not considered as having any value. This kind of sexism is what is wrong. This kind of discrimination is what is wrong.
The popularity (or uneven distribution of sexes involved) of female contraception is a result of discrimination and suppression of women. Period. You need to read more i am afraid. And any attack on women in the name of anything will not be tolerated by me. Call me intolerant . I don't care. "The popularity of female contraception...etc.." Popularity my ass. It is only on part of negligence on research on men and it is only now that women are leading in areas of reasearch and climbing all ladders in life that these issues are being raised and this is becomming a threat to the male psyche as their dominance is threatened by just that.
Simon, Will you take a pill every day if one is available?
Messy has all the qualities of a man hater. Are you a lesbian messy?
