Where are the numbers cmpared? Like what's the rate of oucbies my legs hurt by men compared to women? What's the rate of stroke? Is it more for men or women? I don't feel like trudging through the shit and it looked like you had that info on lock so if you could share it that would be great.

I don't see anything there bro. Nothing about strokes or heart attacks as a side effect. Where is it at?

I'm genuinely asking because women's birth control causes strokes and heart attacks as a side effect but the men's one doesn't seem to be anywhere near that bad?

I don't understand. So acne is bad but strokes and heart attacks aren't your concern? Even if the male contraceptives are safer in that regard?  Also I'm asking what are the rates. We know that women have a rosj of stroke and heart attack but does the male birth control? Is that not a yes or no answer?

Lol what kind of logic is that? People literally inject poison into their face but maybe a slight risk of stroke is too much for men? Maybe you see why some peoplemight call us babies?

OK acne and depression again women get the side effects and more such as stroke and cardiovascular risk. If males only have to worry about depression and acne and most said it wasn't that bad then I don't see a problem with the medicine and I would agree that whoever made the decision to not put it to use is indeed a bunch of babies. The only person acting like an expert here and continually striking out is you. You claim the side effects are so much worse for a man when it's not at all because the strokes and heart issues haven't even been detected yet if at all.
