No, both happen equally often. It's not "men want to make everyone pregnant and women are saints".
Men want to have sex at the same frequency that women want to get pregnant? I'm pretty sure that's not accurate.
Men don't want to get someone pregnant by having sex with them just as much as women don't want to get pregnant.
You have some preconceived bias on how all of this works. The reality is it's 50-50. There are scumbag men and there are scumbag women. At the end of the day what you are saying with "oh no we must trust men with a contraceptive now" amounts to "oh no we must trust men not to rape".
That's not at all what i said, or at least not what i meant. Two people meet, women pulls out condom, man says, "it's ok, I'm on the gel.". It's exactly the same as "I'm on the pill," or shot or whatever. It's been my experience that men were fairly likely to just say ok, but i think women would be more questioning of it. Of course that doesn't take into account stds...
