Description

THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Men are responsible for all unwanted pregnancies. Why? Ovulation is involuntary. Ejaculation is not. It is also true that...

- Men are 50 times more fertile than women
- Birth control is hard to access, use, and comes with numerous side effects
- Vasectomies are less risky than tubal litigations

Yet, it's women who are expected to do the work of pregnancy prevention. Why must women be responsible for men's bodies, as well as their own?

Rather than endlessly exploring how and why we control women's bodies in the highly polarised anti-abortion and pro-choice 'debate', Ejaculate Responsibly makes a witty and unflinching case for why men must be held accountable for their reproductive choices. There are zero consequences for men who ejaculate irresponsibly. It's time to shift the responsibility - and burden - of pregnancy prevention onto men.

Media Reviews

'A gorgeous manifesto' -- Oprah Daily
'A tactical, full-throated cry for men to step up' -- Vogue
'Flashes of acerbic humour and eye-opening statistics bolster Blair's common-sense case. This polemic has the power to change minds' -- Publishers Weekly
Hats off to Gabrielle Stanley Blair for pointing out so clearly the elephant in the room in any discussion about contraception or abortion - that it's high time for men to stop focusing on legislating women's bodily autonomy and instead turn the spotlight on their own role in unwanted pregnancy. A small but mighty book -- Milli Hill, author of Give Birth like a Feminist
