An important and essential read. 

“When asked what men can do to prevent unwanted pregnancies, if a man answers, ‘Well the woman just needs to…’ that’s a clear indication that he has no interest in preventing unwanted pregnancies. He wants to focus on woman but he needs to focus on men. 
If a man can easily prevent unwanted pregnancies by controlling his own actions, but he’s only interested in preventing unwanted pregnancies if woman are controlling the actions, it seems like he’s much more interested in controlling woman than he is in reducing unwanted pregnancies.”

3.5

It's a fun thought experiment, if pretty repetitive. I don't know if there was enough material for a book over 100 pages. It's certainly an excellent reframing. I also found some of the rhetoric on vasectomies to be misinformation - there was a Washington Post article after Roe debunking vasectomy myths, and the first one was quoting urologists stating men should treat a vasectomy as a permanent procedure. This isn't to say I disagree with the author's point around them, but I think she's a little too flippant with the suggestion that you could get one and then reverse it when actually ready to have children.  It is pretty much misinformation the way it's presented. I also was bothered she used STI criminalization as an analogy here. STI criminalization, especially HIV criminalization, is a BAD thing. It existing in some states is a problem, not a parallel example to compare unwanted pregnancy to. That is not a feminist, sex-positive or pro-bodily autonomy argument.

seriously important and impactful read. every person with a penis MUST read this. this needs to be studied in EVERY sex ed class.

I would have given 5 stars, but some arguments in the middle are weakened by the author’s blindness or neglect to take into account that men can and are sexually assaulted and  reproductively abused, even if at much lesser rates.
