Well its something I've always supported. Right now the only options are surgery or condoms. I was sort of just using it as an example of a men's rights group that supports reasonable things.
I wish there were more options for men when it came to birth control also. Didn't they invent a birth control pill for men?
I looked it up. Apparently, some companies are working on options for men to have more control over their reproductive choices also

Quote:The result was a drug called Gamendazole. Although Gamendazole allows for normal ejaculation, the sperm are nonfunctional. Research suggests that Gamendazole causes 100-percent infertility in male rats – an effect that’s reversible after eight to 10 weeks after stopping the drug. It’s also been shown to work in rabbits and non-human primates.
Tash and his team of scientists have met with the Food and Drug Administration to discuss Gamendazole’s efficacy and safety. They hope to soon start pre-clinical safety and efficacy trials that will eventually bring them to their first human clinical trial. However, Tash says, between human clinical trials, examining the data and designing additional testing, it will be a while before Gamendazole hits the market. “I don’t know whether it [will] be five years or 10 years,” Tash says. “Certainly not within the next few years.”
