When the researchers sent out the surveys they also included the diversity and when was the couple married and if they were expecting a child soon or not. Researchers, input the data making predictions throughout the years since the idea began in 1975-1980. In their data they included the sex roles of husbands more than wives. They also included spouse''s attitude towards the contraceptive, the method, and responsibility of the wife, and the concerned with the chemical reaction of the contraceptive.
Finally, the article also mentioned many different hypothesis during the process of the surveys nd the analysis of the year and male preferences towards the birth control. The results were the couple that had equal sex roles favored the idea of male birth control. The article conducted a study on married couples that were selected from the newspaper that were under "Birth Listing" in Columbus, Ohio. The researchers took couples that had children within 4 to 15 months earlier. The ten page survey was only directed to married couples but that were also parents already.
There was a follow up letter sent 9 days after the survey was taken. It was found in that survey hat a low of 23. 5% would take it out of 47 couples. Researchers conducted another survey also ten paged, towards highly educated couples that were college graduates that have been married for 6. 5 years or more. The survey displayed how many couples were already using contraceptive pills and it was 25. 5%. Around 1980''s the researchers had two ways of assessing the study spouse''s general perception of contraceptive responsibility and behaviorally grounded.
The general results for the data and assessment sex role couples are the ones that had likelihood of using the ale birth control. Overall, from all the data and assessment that was proved within the article and is above, I agree that there should be male birth control. The woman should not only be responsible for contraceptives if there are more choices such as male birth control. I believe that there should be an equal amount of responsibility when it comes to contraceptives, Just as a relationship should. In class we spoke about birth contraceptives and the responsibility of taking them but only targeting women.
In chapter twelve, we learn the different types of birth contraceptives that ay be taken for the comfort of women. We also spoke about the precautious that should be taken. The article states vaguely other usages for protection of pregnancies. The article mostly displays the amount of openness of couples taking interest in male birth control. When we first discussed contraceptives in class I was astonished on the different variations, side effects, and percentages of them working accurately. The article measures the interest within the pill toward the male based on couples with children.
In class, the contraceptives were directed more owards woman that did not have children yet and were not planning on having them any time soon. When we discussed contraceptives in class we really did not speak about an idea of male contraceptives being available within the market. It is interesting to think of the male responsible of the contraceptives, due to society. Society is use to hearing about woman taking different types of contraceptives since the early 1960s, when birth control first came out. The book never mentioned male contraceptives being taken into consideration, which is as to why I chose this article.
The book shared useful information for usage of contraceptives focusing on the female audience. Overall, I am looking forward and hoping that there will be an endless amount of different types of contraceptives for men. Bibliography Marsiglio, William, and Elizabeth G. Menaghan.
