Women have abstinence, the pill, the diaphragm, Femidom, Morning After Pill, Adoption,( Extreme - Abortion, or Hysterectomy).

Men have abstinence, the condom, (extreme- vasectomy).

Women by far have more control whether or not they become pregnant, deliver the baby, or even take care of it if they choose to give birth.

Men have condoms. Condoms are relatively effective having anywhere from a 2 to 20 % fail rate. A man can't force a woman to have or to not have a child, to become a mother (biologically speaking), but a woman can force a man to become a father (biologically speaking) against his wishes.

As a man, it gets frustrating to hear everyday that men are deadbeats, no good dogs, big children etc that don't want to own up to their responsibilities. And yes some are, but many men are abruptly forced into fatherhood without proper plans, financial or parenting skills, even in marriages. What would you expect if a child wasn't the intended purpose of the sexual encounter. Now, one may argue, "keep it in your pants", but that's the exact argument Wade used in the infamous Roe vs Wade deliberation that told women to keep their legs closed. To say this to a woman is offensive, but to a man it's justifiable. From my position, Yes many men are partly responsible for the many unwanted children in the world, but only women could ever be responsible for the unwanted pregnancies and child births because they have 100% control over what man she chooses to incriminate her (disregarding rape, I won't count honest mistakes. If someone is careless with contraception they should not be having sex in the first place). 100% control over whether the child lives or dies (morning after pill or abortion), and to essentially force men into fatherhood will obviously lead to discord between the two. I'm not judging either way, I just want observe from the other side. If men are dogs for abandoning pregnant women, why aren't women taught to have higher standers and reserve sex for men that are capable of fatherhood, financially and willingly (wants to be one or wouldn't mind having that woman mother his children). I see so many single mothers around my mother's profession and it's a never ending cycle of poor choices. I think the biggest problem is the assumption that both parties (men and women) are equally responsible for making babies which can act as an excuse to the failure to exercise standards in who women have children with and more importantly when. But this is clearly not the case, women get pregnant, men don't.Women have many non extreme methods to escape motherhood before during and after sex.Men only have a condom (not counting abstinence, women can use this option as well). Women have absolutely no guaranty that a man will stick around if she becomes pregnant,and yet the vast majority become pregnant outside of a marriage, or to a fling or 1 night stand, or to a bf that she hopes will commit to her now that he's "unexpectedly" a father. What's a solution to stop this cycle? This society in desperate need of an upgrade.
