It's obvious that the whole thing smacks of gender discrimination. If men got preggers you can bet your sweet syrupy pancakes that on-demand birth control would be OTC and de-rigeur. So would immediate epidurals and heroin for menstrual cramps.
I've noticed many male docs who poo-poo'ed a woman's pain in labor but fell all over themselves to Rx the IV morphine for epididymitis.
