I never fully considered how men are so much more fertile than women so the solutions to unwanted pregnancies should be placed on them. However, this book failed to discuss solutions to the problem to the depth I wanted to see. Of course women will take birth control because it is the most effective. I agree scientific research needs to be placed on men’s birth control whole heartedly. But men’s birth control pills/etc. do not yet exist, because the science to back it does not yet exist. Plus it’s not as effective as birth control options for women + condoms. As a young women, I know a lot of my friends combine the pill + condoms + pulling out. I think this is common and the book did not address this. I do relate to the fact that multiple men have requested to not use condoms for multiple women I know. This is failed sex Ed and failed discussion as a society. This will be something I work on with my circle to educate my friends about.

A short but powerful and important read. If I would've read this a year ago, it would've put me in an anxiety spiral because it's all about the many ways in which preventing unwanted pregnancies is very little in women's control and that just freaks me the fuck out. But I have no fallopian tubes now, so we're good there! I learned a lot, and I hated what I learned. Of course it's a really "extreme" argument, but it's a well researched and well argued one. Idk man I'm convinced. Will society ever actually think and work this way? I'm very doubtful, certainly it won't happen in my lifetime, but if only. The one negative is one that the author fully explains in the beginning and that's that the argument centers cis, hetero interactions, so that's definitely something missing that would've been beneficial to see.

10/10 stars.
This short collection of essays really lays out logical arguments for why responsible ejaculation and men accepting responsibility for their own bodily fluids is the best way to reduce abortions (as the result of unwanted pregnancy). At a total of only 126 pages, this should easily be within everyone's reach. But - if you need the TL;DR: men should be responsible for their bodily fluids and actions; women should be responsible for their bodily fluids and actions.
