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.

I’m sure you’re taking the necessary precautions; but in case anybody reading this gets mixed ideas. Using the contraceptive pill will ONLY help prevent pregnancy. There are hundreds reasons why you should still wear a condom for sex with a new partner with unknown history. That goes for both parties!

Not sure how it's done where you live, but if you have a one night stand, the condom breaks, and she gets pregnant, you're still legally on the hook for child support. This sounds like a great idea for any man who wants their own insurance again any accidental pregnancy.

Yes, it is a great idea for men to take it.
It is not a great idea for women to have unprotected sex just because the man says he takes it.

Yes, completely agree with that.

In no way was the original comment even trying to imply anything about women trusting men. So I'm a little confused about this response.
