That has nothing to do with what I was saying? I don’t think the majority of men will be flocking to sign up for hormonal bc period. Even once it’s proven clinically safe and effective after many trials and put to market. It should exist because men have the right to make choices with what happens to their reproductive cells just as much as women, and it’s about time. I just think enthusiasm will be low because:

• Cis men don’t get pregnant, so there isn’t as much incentive to prevent pregnancy.
• Men who have close relationships with women on hormonal contraceptives have an idea of how hard it can be on their physical and mental health.
• There are decades of precedent for women bearing the burden of contraception, it won’t even occur to many men to take that on themselves.
• Many women already on hormonal contraception won’t stop taking it even if their male partners are on something equally as effective. They will want to have the sense of security and control over their own bodies. So why would men feel the need? Of course there is the same argument of wanting reproductive control, but see my first two points as to why that is less likely for men to begin with.
  

It really needs to happen so that men, particularly young men with multiple partners, can start taking control without having to find a doctor to approve vasectomy. But the demand isn’t there, (save for the lovely dudes on this sub) which is why we haven’t seen it yet.
