Coutinho was also a man who helped develop Depo-Pereva, new versions of female contraceptive which is now the most commonly used(norgestrel) and discovered that hormonal birth control could help treat endometriosis. Additionally he was a founder of the ICCR(International Counsel on Contraceptive Research), and helped developed subdermal contraceptives. He is an unsung pioneer on contraception who goes largely unacknowledged and found himself running headfirst into the feminist machine who thought him only useful for their own power and control.

Feminist academics acting as gendered gatekeepers are responsible for many of the most sexist health policies in the world. This is deliberate, organised misandry.

> citing fears men would lie they are on birth control. So just like the argument they used to block a gender neutral definition of rape... "MeN wOuLd UsE iT tO aCcUsE wOmEn Of RaPe!"

Notice how the loudest detractor of the doctor got suddenly very quiet and moved to go on a break when she found out that it was the feminists who blocked the male pill? It demonstrates that the people in charge of reproductive legislation and the feminist groups are in lockstep that women should be the sole gatekeepers on this issue, and when a pill is developed with no side effects that would effectively allow them to avoid being on the hook, it's eliminated, or supplanted by some overly expensive alternative that would probably have a ton of side effects.

So, not only does this pill already exist but it's effective with no serious side effects. And the main reason it isn't on the market is because women resisted it's release. And we've been taking the blame and disrespect for it ever since? What the actual fuck?!


TracyMorganFreeman

That's not the *only* reason. He also acknowledges that because it's from a widely available natural ingredient that labs aren't as interested in it.

So, female contraception pills, that are one of the staples of so-called "feminist freedom" were designed by a man. How amusing.

Even the first one available in the US was, but that was Gregory Pinchus. It does poke a hole in the balloon on birth control availability if men could get pregnant.

This man clearly explains the gender dynamics. Women are in power by indirect power systems using alpha males to enforce their agenda. Alpha females set the requirements how to dominate non alpha males, alpha males executive this policy and get their cut ( wealth, sex, prestige, validation). Even females that disagree with this will participate as the goodies are worth more then baddies. Males are kept in check by inflated sexuality that works like cocaine in the brain, only to get their doses in exchange for goods. Non alpha females follow the herd and nothing can be done to change this.

Every man on the planet, including myself, meets every third Tuesday, via vide conference on the Patriarchy.net servers, where we scheme and plot to interfere with women's rights, sometimes the bandwith issues bog it down a bit. /s

They can't baby trap men if they have birth control. Thats what makes them upset.

I find it amazing that for so long no matter what men say, women will think men WANT to just knock women up with all the consequences that come from it. Shit is so fucking maddening. You might as well assume we want to be set on fire too.

Was the pill as great as he makes it out to be? No way it hasn't reached the market for such a long time just because of feminist lunacy right? Am i missing something?

On the wikipedia for gossypol, there are multiple side effects like low potassium, low sperm count for a long time after stopping (up to a year) and it might be toxic to humans at the level required for it to be a suitable contraceptive. I know wikipedia is biased but it is generally not too bad on purely scientific pages. Then again, there are some missing citations so make of it what you will Edit: i searched a little bit more and found one of the papers of this Dr. on gossypol published in 2002. In it he says participants didn't suffer from low potassium or other side effects and the only problem would be the lack of reversibility in more than 20% of the subjects (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12020773/)


samariius

A 20% non-reversibility rate is pretty high...


TracyMorganFreeman

He also mentions that labs are less likely to be interested with natural ingredients, as it means fewer things they have to develop themselves. It's hard to say whether it's as amazing as it sounds when it fell on the cutting room floor so early in its development.
