Can't wait for the flood of people telling us why this isn't feasible for men to take and insisting that when a SAFE and 100% EFFECTIVE form is ready they'll surely take it.
It's feasible for men to take.
But it's absolutely not feasible for women to trust a men who says he's taking it.
So it is a good option for family planning of married couples (where the man is legally responsible for any children he might conceive).
But not for casual sex.
Shoes the same on the other foot, pal. Especially considering how often it's been studied that women stop taking the pill without telling their spouses and then lie to them after getting pregnant, claiming how "crazy and unexpected" it was to get pregnant while on birth control.
The difference is that the worst possible outcome for men is a financial burden.
The worst outcome for women is an unplanned pregnancy, which no matter if you abort it or not, has a very severe effect on the body and mind, on top of everything else.
Either way it would be a betrayal of trust that robs you of agency over your own life. That's definitely not just financial either, any non-sociopath would also have to worry about protecting the wellbeing of their child who a terrible person has parental rights over.
You really like sniffing your own farts. That's the type of thinking an immature sexist narcissist would have.
