I think this is a good example of some people believing their own
rhetoric.

After all, as the original poster pointed out, women have been
"oopsing" for some time so men don't have to play a lot of catchup.
Maybe men may just get it right.

I don't have a lot of faith in the oral contraceptive.  I think the
vasectomy-like injection has more potential for men being
convenient and not using hormones.

I don't think the feminists will go back on their rhetoric but then
again, look at how they tried to downplay sexual harassment
when Clinton was under fire and THEN try to bring it back
when Schwartzenneggar groped?  I don't mean to change
the subject, but I'm just pointing out that such self-centered
people can say just about anything even if it's rediculous.

I suspect that it won't catch on until some poor "oopsers"
discover that the guy they were trying to trap never
told them and bring it up to a judge.  I know that sounds
amazing, but I wouldn't be surprised if it happened.

In the meantime, I think the "pill" for men would be just
as revolutionary as the women's version was.  Look out!
