Your sentence is illogical and reveals a lack of understand for the underlying biological processes.

The women's pill emulates and controls an existing hormonal cycle that naturally regulates their fertility.

There is no such natural hormonal cycle for men, that regulates their fertility.

If I saw some technical similarities between those two processes I would not oppose hormonal control pills for men, but the male and female bodies work differently.

There are absolutely hormonal cycles for men. They’re not as apparent as the menstrual cycle, but they’re there, and we need not fixate on the word “cycle” either.

Hormonal birth control for males exists. Usually by dropping testosterone which isn’t a great idea.

My point is not that hormonal treatments for men is advisable but that there are non trivial consequences for both genders.
