Similarly, while women legitimately complain that biology has condemned them to bear the burden of contraception, this burden also gives women control over one of the most important parts of any human being?s life--reproduction. The male birth control pill will shift much of that control from women to men. Is the following conversation far away?

Woman #1: "My [husband, boyfriend, significant other] is selfish. He's on the pill and won?t get off. I?ve asked him to stop taking it but he always says he?s not ready. He just won?t grow up. I don?t know what to do."

Woman #2: "That?s what the pill has given men?a right to be perpetual adolescents. It?s given them veto power over women who want to have children."

Despite the stigma that will develop against men who take the pill, the pill will be a success. While most women are responsible and want to have children with a willing, committed partner, studies show that lack of reproductive control can be a major problem for men today. For example, the National Scruples and Lies Survey 2004 polled 5,000 women in the United Kingdom for That?s Life! magazine. According to that survey, 42% of women claim they would lie about contraception in order to get pregnant, regardless of the wishes of their partners.

The advent of the female birth control pill greatly aided women?s struggle for autonomy and fulfillment. The male birth control pill will also create great changes, but these changes will not be to some women?s liking.
