hopelessly devoted to deconstructing popular culture and conventional wisdom, one blog at a time

A MALE BIRTH CONTROL PILL? I'll believe it when I see it, which might be another decade from now. And yet, the news from UMass that their scientists have isolated the protein that wags the spermy tail -- that allows the boys to swim -- that, oh, just read my story to learn more. At any rate. The question I have isn't whether men would take a daily pill or remember to take one, but whether that would result in a new wave of STDs since these men won't be wearing condoms. I suppose that question is moot (say it with me, Rev. Jesse Jackson) in committed relationships or married couples, but still.
