Title: Male Birth Control: Why Is There Still No Pill for Men? And Would They Even Use It?
Abstract:
The birth control pill radically transformed our society over half a century ago, yet side effects and health risks continue to burden women and other people who can get pregnant. The current development of new male contraceptives could usher in a new sexual order—but only if they ever make it to market. This talk focuses on three questions about values in science, reproductive ethics, and masculine identity: (1) Why is there still no pill for men? (2) Why is male contraception an ethical priority? (3) Would cisgender heterosexual men even use it? After elucidating how biases have influenced contraceptive research, I offer a positive vision of manhood decoupled from the ability to impregnate. Contrary to reactionary ideas in the “manosphere,” I defend a new way for men and other sperm producers to think about their swimmers, rooted in solidarity and shared responsibility for reproductive risks.
