    so many of the methods seem designed to punish women for wanting sex without pregnancy.

    Yes, that’s right, the people inventing these contraceptives were all huddled in a room twirling their misogyny mustaches, discussing “okay, we’re going to make this thing that prevents pregnancy, but we have to MAKE SURE it has unpleasant side effects, these women must be punished!”

    Please.

    But I’d think guys would love condoms because it’s the only reversible birth control they can control themselves.

    Guys do like that, but not as much as they dislike the fact that it makes sex a lot less pleasurable, which is the primary reason they want to have sex in the first place. That’s why a lot of guys, like me, would rather just not have sex with a woman, if the only ‘safe’ (re both STIs and pregnancy) way to have sex with her, is with a condom on.
