On: The Link Between Birth Control Pills and Sex Drive

[davkan]

My understanding is that one reason for lack of prescription birth control for men is that the side effects of a drug will inevitably outweigh any possible health benefit from avoiding conception, which for a male is of course nil. Birth control is easily justified from a medical perspective for women because pregnancy carries many health risks.

So does breathing. (In fact, it causes death in 100 percent of the cases.)

No, that's just cope for the fact that it is already socially acceptable for women to ruin their bodies for vanity purposes.

breathing is a bad faith argument. Im sure you can think of a better example here

No it isn't. Oxygen is highly corrosive and is a literal poison.

Everything is poison at some dose, but that isn't the discussion it seems.
