For over a decade now, the promise of male contraceptives has moved beyond science-fiction, with choices that should be available, that wouldn't induce long term harm. There are other simple choices beyond synthetic testosterone.
The fact is, many couples, especially in long term relationships, both wish to engage in unprotected sex. So at the moment, the only male choices are condoms or a vasectomy, which can't always be reversed easily, limiting it as a choice for many people who may want children in the future.
Other choices include:
- IVD's (a simple plug in the sperm ducts)
- RISUG (a chemical injected in to the sperm ducts that acts rather like a spermicide and is then washed away with another injection when the male wishes to reproduce)
Other trials including male coils haven't been overly successful, but either of the methods above seem plausible. RISUG is the least invasive option and the best candidate. In trials worldwide, RISUG was effective in 249 out of 250 candidates and the one failure was reportedly due to an incorrectly placed injection.
One simple injection, can last for over ten years if so wished. Surely one simple injection, from a fiscal point, given to many men, is better than endless pills for women with terrible side effects or unwanted pregnancies which strain our NHS.
Since the scandal of the first female pills, where some women became very ill as the first formulations weren't suitable, I can understand the risk in not trialling and rushing out another pill. No-one wants that backlash.
However so many other choices exist, with some even being trialled in the past throughout the world, yet these choices still aren't available. It isn't because the technology doesn't exist, but because it isn't available publicly, playing politics with people's choices.
An abundance of female contraception exists, so it is only fair that men have that choice and it isn't just an issue foisted on women as their responsibility.
One excuse is cost. In the UK, where the NHS and Planned Parenthood clinics are free, I and many other men would not object to co-paying a small amount to help fund contraception while it is rolled out.
Another excuse is that men would not want to take it. That is why I ask people to sign this petition, to show we would take it and such an argument is sexist. Many of us have empathy for our girlfriends/wives, having irregular periods through their current contraception, see planned parenthood as a joint agreement and would be willing to take contraception ourselves if it were available. Please give us that democratic choice.
Please sign this petition to show the government and NHS that we want contraceptive choice for both genders. Equal responsibility should be an option.

One of the young men she is accused of sleeping with has publicly stated that she didn't commit a crime.

Feminists on the attack in Vancouver
7.AVfM is targeted by police for investigation of hate crimes, rather than make an arrest for an unprovoked and clearly illegal assault.
My 19 year old son calls in the middle of the night. He says simply "come get me." I don't ask questions. " say "I'll be right there." He is home from college staying with ex wife and most pertinent here 16 year old younger sister.
I pick him up. He has his suit cases packed and his other belongings. After we leave, "what is going on?" X (his younger sister) is attacking him and mom won't do anything. Verbally or physically? Physically, and she threatened to call the police.
So, there you have it. Apparently, my daughter is attacking my son and threatening him with the police.

Kind of strange given her mother did that to me some 10 years ago leading to my arrest and of course divorce. I had done nothing. Her boyfriend who I didn't know existed until that night moved into my house before I even bailed out of jail.
My daughter is a really sweet girl around me, but according to her brother not so with him. Her brother is a very fine decent young man.
My real inclination is to just ignore this situation because I cannot really think anything to do that wouldn't cause more trouble.
This is ironic because of the other thread about a girl lying about kidknapping and the statements that she should be punished.
Yes, but how when she doesn't live in my house, and isn't the best approach to try to be a positive role model rather than creating more controversy?
That was in Detroit, Michigan, and I have a special stake in that shit-hole.
My advice to the last people who can stand it there: GET THE HELL OUT. And quit giving your money in some shape or form to the absolutely corrupt city council and city government. There are also videos on You-Tube of them telling a white contractor (who was the only non-corrupt person there) that "we don't really need someone of your ... ethnic ... background". Go home White Boy, we got some cousins to hire.
Look at the felony records of the last mayors if you want to get a picture of this shit-hole of a city. I used to think that anything under 8 Mile Road was a stinking sewer, but now I see people on-line talking about a shit-hole below 10 Mile Road (which used to be quite nice in some areas 20 years ago).
Let this thing ("Detroit") die a peaceful death.

Umm ... sorry if my opinion was kind of ... direct.
A woman did this? Impossible! There must be some sort of error. As feminists have told us time and time again, only men are capable of such horrific violence.
