I've read the instructions on the packaging and I still, to this day, don't fully understand them." Really? Was it the counting out one pill, or being able to tell time to take it at the same time each day that was complicated? PolishKnight says, “The pill is incredibly complicated to use.

For one thing, I don't think women have ever really "struggled" for autonomy beyond the feminist movement itself which sought to undermine heterosexual relationships between men and women. On the contrary, women are as dependent upon men and the state for financial support for themselves and their children as 100 years ago. About fulfillment, well, few women are willing to troll for sex the way men have done but it does give young "bar floozies" more latitude. But even so, the millions of bastard children produced due to contraception accidents belies that benefit. On the contrary: it's the _failure_ of the pill that has produced massive social programs that bash men and give women latitude to abandon infants. Since women's and men's sex desires differ, a male pill would have benefits greater in some ways (mostly) and bad in others. The pill is incredibly complicated to use. I've read the instructions on the packaging and I still, to this day, don't fully understand them. The side effects of the hormone were so bad that my wife went off of them. If you're ever had to figure out how to change the gas filter on a late model car, that's _simple_ in comparison to this stuff. The good news about a male pill is that, combined with a condom, would give men very good reassurances that contraceptive accidents wouldn't occur and would make it that much more difficult for women trying to oops them. She'd have to sabotage _two_ seperate devices. It's like having a car alarm _and_ LoJack! I still think the holy grail of contraception for ALL TIME for BOTH GENDERS is RISUG. A convenient, reversable, temporary sterility injection for men that's also confidential. Sheesh, that's hitting it right out of the ballpark.
