I fully agree. Why does our society treat contraception as the woman's responsibility? It seems like low-side-effect male oral contraception is a relatively easy problem, but I don't even think there are any male contraceptives in the pipeline, sadly.
My last girlfriend reacted badly to every BC pill she took. I was 24 and 180 pounds, while she was 20 and 115 pounds. Dosing drugs in an adolescent is a pharmacologically hard problem, especially when the drugs are hormonal, and the fact that I was much larger also made me a better candidate for drug experimentation. If there had been a male Pill, I would have readily taken it.

I actually remember reading about research to make a male contraceptive. If I remember correctly it's harder because there are way more sperm than ova.
