      Do you think female birth control is 100% safe and comfortable for women? Hydrocele are nothing compared to some of the adverse side affects of female birth control. Hydrocele only form in the thing sheath surrounding the testical, are do to physical irritation (not injected fluid), and usually go away on their own. Also, I’d imagine people smart enough to develop male birth control considered that exceptionally common alement.

            Ah yes, I’m the ignorant one. You people have no clue what’s coming for us if you think this has any sort of relevancy. And even in your utopia fantasies this would absolutely not change society in any meaningful way. It’s just freaking contraception.

                Contraception was arguably one of the single most important technological innovations in human history.

                Yes, because we didn’t had any reliable one. Welcome to the year 2024 buddy. Have a good guess how 3024 will look like.

                You sir, are a fucking imbecile … (albeit better, more enlightened men than you) … Go read a fucking book or something, educate yourself. … Don’t bother replying either because I won’t be feeding the trolls anymore today. This is for everyone else here who’s synapses are appropriately firing.

                Your continued personal attacks and projection just continue to show us that you have no actual argument or clue what the fuck you’re talking about. But go on, more ad hominem attacks will surely prove your point.

                You people should’ve stayed on Reddit.

        I mean, as a man, even if it’s tested and 99% safe it just sounds weird. If it’s not a pill or a regular injection I can’t see many men lining up for a scrotum filling.
