98 year old dobri dobrev, a man who lost his hearing in the second world war, walks 10 kilometers from his village  in his homemade clothes and leather shoes to the city of sofia, where he spends the day begging for money. 
though a well known fixture around several of the city’s chruches, known for his prostrations of thanks to all donors, it was only recently discovered that he has donated every penny he has collected — over 40,000 euros — towards the restoration of decaying bulgarian monasteries and churches and the utility bills of orphanages, living instead off his monthly state pension of 80 euros.

So you know how there’s that post saying how people should invent birth control for men? (Take bullets out of a gun, not put on a bullet proof best) Well here it is. If some of you had actually researched it for like, 5mins, you would’ve actually found it.

Here’s the link:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mobileweb/2012/04/03/male-birth-control-reversible_n_1400708.html

To put it simply, the whole procedure takes about 15mins and lasts 10 years with a 100% success rate.

After an anesthetic, there’s an injection of some sperm-killing gel (Vasal Gel) into the male vas deferens. If the guy wants it reversed, he can get another shot which does that.

So, spread the word or something, but here it is.

How this post hasn’t gone viral by now is fucking beyond me.

Men don’t want it. They don’t want anything fuckin’ around “down there”. That’s why they refuse to get vasectomies. I’ve been asking them about this shit for years. YEARS. They simply don’t want to deal with it. And as long as they don’t have to be pregnant & give birth, they could give less than a fuck about birth control. Seriously. But they will cry, bitch and moan about the burden of child support and “Baby Mamas”. I don’t care how accessible or simple birth control men is made, hormonal or surgical, they will not fuck with it. Instead of exercising their reproductive freedoms that exist with NO THREATS WHATSOEVER, they’d just rather not. 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Exactly

Vasectomies are clinically proven to be safe and reversible, yet men are not getting them in droves

MRAs bitch and moan about how they shouldn’t be forced to pay child support? 

But I don’t see them campaigning to get them vasectomies done en masse.

Not at all.

Safer and less invasive than tubal ligation. In office procedure vs. going to the hospital. Quicker recovery time than tubal ligation. Tubal ligation is NOT reversible. Vasectomies are also less expensive than tubal ligation.

Tell me again why the fellas ain’t gettin’ them? That shit sounds perfect to me. 

Because they enjoy creating kids they don’t and won’t care for. Honestly

My own partner says he’d refuse to use birth control if it came out for men. And he’s fairly pro-feminist. It’s this weird fear they have and I don’t even know what they’re afraid of. I do think its this idea of well I don’t have to carry the baby so why should I care.

I doubt any of you people actually know the reason why men don’t want to get treatments like this.

It’s not because we’re all souless monsters who want to impregnate every woman we find

We’re all just incredibly overprotective of our junk so much so that even the toughest guys turn into squeemish little boys at the mere thought of anything that might be remotely painful happening to the family jewels.

My man, you would be surprised by the number of dudes who think birth control is a woman’s job and her job only. I don’t disagree with guys preferring their junk to be untampered with but the we’ve cultivated that - the idea that the penis is somehow more sacred than the vagina and must be left alone for fear of angering the great penis gods.

Lemme be honest, I’d do it. I mean, come on, unprotected sex, guaranteed to not get a girl pregnant for 10 years? That’s worth the procedure, honestly. Not like their lopping our balls off, dudes. And thanks so much to the original poster. I can honestly say it never occurred to me to look for something like this.
