I hope you replied to the wrong comment, I don't think women complaining about paying for birth control is a valid reason for sterilizing a population. Also condoms exist.
> the side effects of the pill, which women endure and men don't.
women are free to choose to not take the pill or take it and accept the consequences. Also, there are many alternatives to the pill.
Either way, I don't understand what point you are trying to make. You are just making random statements and ignoring the context of the discussion.
Yes, but some people want all the benefits with none of the side effects. Of course there is no perfect solution.
Life is about making tradeoffs. There is no such thing as a free lunch, except while you are still a child.
Progress is about eliminating them. We don’t need to trade off seafaring against scurvy, for example.
I would, too. But it increases the pool of options, which means that for some people it really is a win-win. Get the same as you’re getting now, but with fewer (or less meaningful to you) side effects.
