Ignorant male writer? (Score:1) by Indiana Jones on 09:59 PM May 12th, 2005 EST (#1) I honestly don't think he wrote that in feminist faith, just an unsuspecting unknowledgable male writer. HOWEVER, i haven't heard any updates on the male pill, does anyone have any updates? There has been many feminist pressure to keep the male pill off.

Ahh, MSN... (Score:1) by mcc99 on 10:04 PM May 12th, 2005 EST (#2) They (feminists and "news" sources like MSN) couldn't be *scarederer* of a male BCP if it also had claws and fangs! Truth is, there is quite a bit of progress on this topic. Take a look: http://www.askmen.com/love/dzimmer_60/72_love_answ ers.html http://156.40.88.3/publications/pubs/coun_crh.htm# FutureDirections http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/04/19/health/m ain612637.shtml MSN hates men, that is abundantly clear. But thank goodness we can get news from many places other than MSN.

Recent Research Articles on Male Oral Contraceptiv (Score:0) by Anonymous User on 05:47 AM May 13th, 2005 EST (#3) MSNBC is completely wrong. Here are some recent research articles: Intramuscular testosterone enanthate plus very low dosage oral levonorgestrel suppresses spermatogenesis without causing weight gain in normal young men: a randomized clinical trial Male hormonal contraception: an update on research progress Male hormonal contraception Steroid hormones for contraception in men

Just ignorance... Don 't worry! (Score:1) by jname967 on 10:28 AM May 13th, 2005 EST (#4) I know MSN is anti-male, but I've noticed lately they've lightened up on the bashing. I think it';s fair to say this article is just ignorant. The MALE PILL is still relatively unknown to the general public. Don't sweat it guys.

Re:Just ignorance... MSN reported pill on the way! (Score:0) by Anonymous User on 03:55 PM May 13th, 2005 EST (#6) A quick Google search produced an October 2005 article published on MSNBC's web site that declared the following -- http://msnbc.msn.com/id/3543478/ "Male birth control pill soon a reality Implants, patches and creams also on the way Over the past 5 years, researchers around the world have had a great deal of success with male contraceptive pills, patches, implants and creams that deliver various amounts of hormones. It is now believed that an MHC in the form of a daily pill could be available on the market within 5 to 7 years and implants could arrive even sooner." I have to assume that MSNBC has no fact checkers or web editors who take anything they publish seriously. After all, it's not "real" news, just filler for all the pop-ups.
