Men are no worse than women believe me.

It's a burden that's fallen on women for decades.
But a contraceptive that's targeted at men could hit shelves in less than a decade, according to one of the most eminent reproductive health experts who is leading the UK trials of the frontrunner.
And rather than a pill, it is a gel — which has a similar consistency to hand sanitiser, dries quickly and is odourless — that men rub onto their shoulders, chest and upper arms once a day.
Within weeks, user's sperm count plummets and — once levels are low enough — it can work as a couple's only form of birth control.
Full efficacy results of the gel won't be available for around two years.
But Professor Richard Anderson, co-director of the University of Edinburgh's Centre for Reproductive Health, said the trial has gone 'extremely well' and his colleagues have been left 'surprised' by just how effective the hormone-based gel is.
'I don't want to jinx it,' he told this website. 'But at the moment, it's looking great.'
The team hope the gel will perform just as well as the female pill, which is around 99 per cent effective, with Professor Anderson saying 'it's looking good'.
And it's reversible, unlike the other physical option available to men, a vasectomy — surgery to seal the tubes that carry a man's sperm.
They are instructed not to shower for two hours — allowing time for the gel to have an affect — but should wash the area before physical contact with their partner to avoid interfering with their hormone levels.

Do they guarantee that men who rub it on their shoulders will not become pregnant?
I’m guessing you are one of those right-wing radicals that believes that only women can get pregnant. ANYONE can be a birthing-person don’t ya know!
Just get a vasectomy...geez...
‘Sure baby, of course I rub that new gel on my shoulders every day. Trust me....”
Betcha it’ll be estrogen bombs.
I have heard of men with vasectomies who take advantage of women who want babies.
They even brag about it.
Personally I think they are scum.
I have heard of women who falsely claim they are on the pill who take advantage of men who don’t want babies yet.
They even brag about it.
Personally I think they are scum.
Most of the developed world is racing each other to extinction due to failure to reproduce and the US is only marginally better. I dont see this as being the change they think it is due to the legal jeopardy that young men believe they face. We need to see other cycles need to be completed before this may be wanted and actually needed. Likely another 30ish(?) years before this has any real effect but then make sure you have stock.
Brand Name suggestion;
Head...or Shoulders?
Not every man wants to be permanently sterile.
Men are no worse than women believe me.
AFTER you take the gel: 
Another front opens in the anti life offensive, and everyone at FR treats it like a big joke.
Just the tip baby?
In their defense, life without humor is pretty horrible. I can see the feral government trying to put this out water supply. For whatever reason governments around the world have decided that there's too many citizens they need to kill.
“Score!” works too.
The manufacturer will say:
“Send us a pic or a video on how our new product has enhanced your game!”
No way in hell the feminazi run west allow a male birth control “pill” or any any other reversible, easy, and easily concealed birth control method for men.
Both normal female biology and political feminism are going to have powerful reactions to men having total control over the sex act, a guarantee that men can have sex with all the women they can without the risk of pregnancy.
I think feminists would hate it immediately.
I think the biological reaction of the female sex would lead eventually to a way for them to regain control of sex, probably leading in time to a resurrection of female chastity before marriage (or at least before serious marriage plans), in other words, females learning the word no, again.
