Yeah, I read the link before I saw your post. All I can saw is , "FUCK YEAH!" If men want to legislate our bodies, then men should have theirs legislated as well.
Did you know that in Japan, women for decades were trying to get The Pill approved, but the Japanese equivalent of the FDA was dragging their asses and hemming and hawing and saying it needed further testing. But when Viagra came along, it got passed through approval in record time and the women in Japan got really fucking pissed and pointed out the hypocrisy of decades for The Pill and months for Viagra and then The Pill was finally approved in Japan.
