Majority of women wouldn't trust men to take birth control pill

Majority of men shouldn't trust women to take birth control pill, either.

Contraception is an individual responsibility.

You shouldn't blindly trust women who say they're on birth-control, because many of those "accidental pregnancies" turn out to be planned after all.

If you want to be safe, always wear a rubber, and store condoms safely so they can't be tampered with.

Well when the only answers are:

Yes, I would trust a monogamous partner, but not any ol' lay. I would always use condoms as a backup method of birth control and STD prevention.

No, I am far more comfortable being in charge of taking birth control pills. It is, after all, my body that would be affected by an unplanned pregnancy.

I'm undecided on this one, sister.

I'm a dude and just want to know how the ladies have voted!

It kinda biases the responses. There is no just plain "Yes".

Fair enough. I don't trust women to take their pills, either.

Projection

Funny how they always ask if women would trust men to take birth control - but never ask if men would trust women to take it ...

moxwind · 2011-06-26T06:58:51+00:00

This will soon be a moot point

mikenike605 · 2011-06-26T07:05:18+00:00

And they shouldn't...i couldn't even remember to take acutane when i was on it.

den215 · 2011-06-26T13:13:04+00:00

the feeling is mutual. if men and female both took the pill, there would be no trust issues to deal with. plus it would be double safe

Demonspawn · 2011-06-26T18:39:43+00:00

42% of women admitted they would lie about birth control in order to get pregnant

Why should we trust these women?

lanismycousin · 2011-06-26T08:35:05+00:00

If I was on birth control, no fucking way I would ever forget a pill/shot/whatever.

fondueguy · 2011-06-26T15:43:00+00:00

Projection!!! Take this very seriously.

Scott2508 · 2011-06-26T16:11:31+00:00

well who cares we arent wanting to take it for them , we want to take it for us .

disposable_human · 2011-06-26T17:30:43+00:00

Those who are saying 'projection'... you're right. But it's perfectly reasonable projection. People flake.

gmano · 2011-06-27T16:48:13+00:00

Actually, at the time of my checking it seems that women trust the individual who's at risk of getting pregnant. Which makes sense.

Godspiral · 2011-06-26T16:12:17+00:00

To be fair, the poll options are actually would you trust someone else more than you trust yourself.

Its certainly possible to trust a partner is truthful in wanting to prevent pregnancy (though some doubts are normal too). Though you will always trust yourself more, if you are not flakey.

Shattershift · 2011-06-27T10:24:35+00:00

Logical criticism, what possible reason would a man have for not taking birth control? What possible benefit is there?

BinaryShadow · 2011-06-27T12:49:56+00:00

A woman's trust should have nothing to do with the availability of a male birth control pill.

ManThoughts · 2011-06-26T18:14:30+00:00

I'm seriously considering making a trip to India and getting that shot.
