I'm sure it's illegal for a woman to secretly swap out her boyfriend's medicine for a placebo, but good luck proving it happened in court.

This would make it a lot harder... they can already do that with their own pills, after this, they would have to find an exact match for the men's pills and somehow replace them without the guy noticing, which would be realatively harder.

You realize that without the pill it’s drastically easier to baby trap right?

Women could baby-trap their boyfriend into marriage by swapping out his pills for placebo, then blame the pregnancy on the pills not working.

Most women would never do this, but a few definitely would.

It's way easier to do that for her own pills. You still want the condom to be more certain...

You'd likely want condoms anyway, unless you are in a stable long-term relationship with somebody highly trustworthy.

birth-control pills (male or female) are powerless against sexually-transmissible diseases.

And men with a pregnancy fetish can do the same. What’s your point?

Not every discussion is about making a point.

So why are you making it a gender politics issue if it isn’t even a common enough behavior among women

You guys are reading from my comment some sort of aggressive anti-pill stance that isn't there. I'm just predicting something that will happen, because predicting the future and seeing if reality later plays out that way is fun.

They could poke holes in condoms too. If the male doesn’t trust the female then they probably shouldn’t have sex.

he's referring to sperm jacking.
