A male contraceptive is almost here – and it’ll be another test of whether heterosexual men are actually willing to share the responsibilities of adult life

The article is kinda awful. It barely reports on the drug (it doesn't even mention the name of the drug or the study) and spends most of the time speculating that men are incapable of taking any kind of responsibility and practically blames them for all the problems that women face with contraceptives. Which might a fair assessment occasionally, but it's hardly a universal truth and has more to do with the availability of contraceptives that are controlled by corporations and healthcare providers not by the decisions of average people.
