The Male Birth Control Pill Arrives
via Possible Man-Whore Pill Would Make Testicles More Forgetful at Jezebel:
Yet another ship has (a little by accident) sailed into the largely uncharted waters of male birth control pills, having discovered that a drug being developed for cancer treatment might actually make testicles temporarily “forget” how to produce sperm. This latest breakthrough in the burgeoning field of sperm obfuscation comes on the heels of news in May that a Scottish research team had pinpointed a gene necessary for sperm production, a breakthrough that opened the imaginarium of hormone-free male contraception.
The latest discovery in the quest for the male pill comes by way of Dr. James Bradner from the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Harvard Medical School, who believes that he and his team may have alighted on a way to trick the testicles into shutting down sperm production without any discernible side effects. What’s more, the treatment would be completely reversible.

“Man-whore Pill”?????
Can you imagine the tsunami of rage that would follow a male oriented publication calling the female birth control pill a “Whore Pill”? Actually, we had a close approximation of this with Rush and what’s her name, his girl victim who needed $3K/year for condoms.
I guess that is an example of the new tone in politics the Left is always talking about.
I can see why the ladies are afraid men will forget to take their pill; the main reason female birth control pills fail is forgetting to take them.
The real reason for Feminist disdain for the male pill is it reduces women’s ability to enslave men via unintended pregnancy. Working for a living is more work and less heroic than being a single mom victim of the Patriarchy.
I believe that if a safe male pill were to become available, hordes of men would use it, and I’d bet the percentage that used it correctly would be larger than for women on their pill.
“Yes, I’m on the male pill” will soon fall into the same category as:
1. Yes, I’m married but we are seperated and she knows I’m dating.
–In which case the three of us can have dinner and you can introduce me to her.
2. I’m not interested in you just for sex.
–Yeah. Sure.
3. I’ll call you soon.
–Yeah. Sure.
etc, ad vomitus.
And before the men start, Yes, I know women lie as well. That’s why it’s called “natural selection”.
What does women lying about being on the pill have to do with natural selection? Do you even know what natural selection is?
