@basedbagel Male birth control has already been in the process of development, I want to say since the early 2010s. I think there’s two forms but the one I’m familiar with is Vasogel, it’s basically a synthetic polymer that you can inject into the vas deferens(sperm carrying tube) and its blocks the sperm from traveling through the vas deferens into the urethra. The sperm is reabsorbed into the body, and it can be reversed by injecting a sodium bicarbonate solution, no side affects.
@shortstories @basedbagel Keep in mind that a lot of children in the US are born unintentionally, mainly because the woman lied about being on birth control. Male birth control would prevent that, condoms are affective but can be sabotaged, also they take away the pleasure of sex in many cases. Vasectomies are permanent, and most don’t get them because they want to have children in the future. Vasogel would solve many of these issues, abortion is more of a fail safe for women.
@shortstories @basedbagel the product is very simple to use, it’s just an inject in the vas deferens. There’s no hormonal side effects or any kind of pain as far as I’m aware. Clinical trials might be coming soon, probably in the next couple of years. But the crazy things for me is how for almost 60 years women have had available to them, many different forms of birth control while men have only had two. Birth control would give more control to men over their reproduction.

Unless you can persuade the parasite class of men to use the birth control product & use it correctly then introduction of such a birth control product for men would make things worse
Only the intelligent and disciplined men could use the product on the proper schedule
The unintelligent and undisciplined men would not choose to use the product or not use it correctly
The product would increase the population of the parasite class while decreasing the working class
