Justice for All

Lactation for men, of course. But also: at age 50, all men go on mandatory testosterone blockers until age 85. Women go on birth control pills during the first 35 years of sexual activity---ages 15 to 50, roughly---at great personal expense, most notably their very libidos, in order provide abundant, no-consequence sex for men. It's only fair, then, that men alter their hormonal balance in order to accommodate post-menopausal female sexuality.

There would probably be some sub-optimal side-effects, of course. But the same is true of birth-control pills. Fair is fair.

Is there such a thing as testosterone blockers? Negative effects of the pill on libido seem not to be as universal as you describe. In any case, women are free to insist on barrier or other methods instead.

My main complaint here, however, is with the glass-half-empty emphasis on "Justice." Let's not forget that the first half of the immortal phrase points us towards "Liberty ... for all."

Oh, and there's always the option to be with women instead of men...
