This isn’t quite the right way to frame it. I used to believe this too, but it’s really more of a fundamental biological issue. The female reproductive system isn’t always-on by design - the release of new eggs stops during pregnancy, for example. So there’s a natural off-switch that can be taken advantage of, it’s sensitive to relatively small and safe hormonal changes, and while it does have side-effects it is relatively safe and we have a wide variety of options.

The male reproductive system, for contrast, never turns off. There is no dormant period, there is no menopause, sperm production keeps chugging along until the gametes accumulate damage due to aging. If you want to reduce male fertility, you’ve got no natural switches to take advantage of. It’s just a physiologically more difficult problem, which is why the trials on candidate drugs so far have had much more severe side-effects. We’re talking about upticks in *suicide* among the treatment groups, not something that should be taken lightly.

On the bright side, vasectomy is safe and affordable. It just can’t be reliably reversed.
