- Are you man enough for birth control? | NewStatesman → laurie penny stellt in diesem interessanten text die nachricht über den abbruch der test von hormoneller geburtenkontrolle an männern in den größeren zusammenhang:
The story of a male contraceptive jab halted because men were too distressed by the side effects to stay the course is as disappointing as it is familiar. It fits the cultural narrative whereby men can’t possibly be trusted with traditionally female responsibilities — from washing up to changing nappies, if you leave it to the guys, they’ll either flake out, fuck it up or both. We should simply let them off the hook, and let the women get on with it, grit their teeth though they may. That’s nature’s way, or God’s, depending on who you ask. But that’s not what happened here. The real story is more interesting. The real story — of research halted despite most of the men involved being enthusiastic, and a great many people all over the world wondering why the hell male hormonal contraception isn’t a thing yet — is a story of collective cultural resistance to scientific progress. Once again, technological advances that could improve people’s lives are on hold because we’re too socially backward to tell a different story about sex, love and gender.
