Description
The conversation we need to have about men and contraception is long overdue. Gabrielle Blair makes a witty and unflinching case for why men must be held accountable for their reproductive choices. Men are responsible for all unwanted pregnancies, yet the burden of pregnancy prevention often falls on women. This imbalance is rooted in the fact that ovulation is involuntary, while ejaculation is not. The consequences of this disparity are stark: men are 50 times more fertile than women, and birth control can be hard to access, use, and come with numerous side effects. It's time to shift the responsibility - and burden - of pregnancy prevention onto men. In "Ejaculate Responsibly", Blair argues that men must take ownership of their reproductive choices, rather than leaving it to women to manage their own bodies.
