      Why is everyone in this thread acting like men are always the ones providing and insisting on using barrier methods? Have yall talked to a woman who’s had casual sex before about what it’s like out there?

          Ok I’ll ignore the name calling one last time.

          I’ll put it super simply, in the hope that you misunderstanding me wasn’t as intentional as it comes across

          1. barrier methods have always been, and continue to be, a shared responsibility

          2. all other non-permanent methods have been purely on women until very recently.

              Can you please point out the thing I said that you consider sexist, and why? I’m striving not to be, and like to learn where I can.

                  I said society. The word ‘men’ isn’t even in the thing I said that you quoted. Much less ‘all men’. Both men and women saw reproduction as a woman’s responsibility. Can you explain why that’s a sexist thing to say? Or, if it’s not true, why nobody tried to research male hormonal birth control at the same time they were researching female hormonal birth control?

                  Also, I didn’t have to look that up. It’s common knowledge. But, as I said, there’s no reason to believe your claim that barrier methods were ever solely men’s responsibility. You didn’t even really offer evidence or a justification for that claim.

                  I also never said men are pricks. I said that the responsibility to use barrier methods isn’t always on men and that women who have casual sex with men could easily confirm that. There’s people who are being responsible and people who are being irresponsible of any gender. Once again, I’m just taking issue with your claim that barrier methods are and always were men’s responsibility.
