Christina's thoughts on the "male pill"

It ain't for me.

And before I go any further, let me just say that it's nice that on some level there's a spark of thought that contraception can be an equally shared responsibility between men and women.

However, in the case of the "male pill" I think it's still somewhat of a flawed concept. Why? Because men can't have babies! If they get someone pregnant, they don't have to endure the additional stress of knowing that THEIR body will have to pass a bowling ball, to say nothing of having to swear off alcohol, caffeine and cigarettes. And let's be honest about who ends up bearing most of the childrearing responsibilities, regardless of whether or not the pregnancy occurs in a marriage, long-term relationship or whatever the arrangement is.

So I'm all for men sharing more of the responsibility in the birth control, HOWEVER, I would have a hard time giving up all other contraceptive methods JUST because my man was on the "male pill".

How many men could lie and tell some girl that they're on the "male pill" when they're not just to sleep with her faster?

It's a step in the right direction: promoting this idea that men share birth control responsibility. I don't think a male pill is the silver bullet answer though.
