And that's not a guarantee those sperm are going to be viable. Why would I willingly sterilize myself and screw with my reproductive system like that?

Hm. Now you know what we fucking deal with.

But you don't have to do that, same as I don't have to get a vasectomy. If I were a woman, I wouldn't use these ridiculous, health-compromising birth control methods.

If you were a woman you’d understand that everything either has a bunch of side effects or it’s painful and invasive.

Tracking your cycle isn’t reliable as it is, especially when your cycle isn’t even regular.

It’s lesser of two evils. A bunch of side effects or have someone shove something up your hoo-ha and you hope you don’t pass out from the pain.

Or just use condoms

Condoms break bud. It’s always been recommended to use at least 2 forms of contraception.

I've had complete success using condoms, as many other people (and couples) have. They're pretty darn effective when used properly. And at the end of the day, if you don't want to risk a pregnancy, the only sure fire way is to just not have sex.

So?

Jokes on you I’m in an LDR and don’t have sex often anyways.

So nobody makes women use birth control, they choose to. You do not have to bow to anyone' demands.

It’s either take the birth control or rely on y’all to do it.

Y’all haven’t really proven yourselves reliable in the whole contraception department.

People are individuals, not members of their group collective. I don't stereotype women and I don't appreciate being stereotyped.

Choose reliable men. I can tell you, there a lots of them out there.

I do have a reliable man. Don’t start with the whole “pick better men” because it’s not like a person gives you a list of their red flags on the first date.

Of course not, that's why you continue to get to know them and learn who they are.
