Also, are you comparing the male pill to vitamins?
I think Grr is saying he doesn't want to take any pills, regardless of what they are. It does seem in this day we have a pill for everything, yet a lot of the medicines only make us feel worse instead of better- so then they have a pill for that too. It's like an endless cycle. We seem to think we can solve everything with pills. If we don't start taking the pills in the first place, we don't have to deal with any of the side effects/ withdrawl/ etc.
In addition, I would think that the male pill, since it is also hormone based, would cause a similar period to the female pill when first started- that is, a period of extreme emotion sensitivity ( I don't necessarily mean bursting into tears, here, it can also be that a person is easier to anger, etc). Some people just don't want to go through that hassle, or have their body chemistry played with, even if it is safe.
I'm not necessarily agreeing with this standpoint, I just can see what he's getting at (I think...unless I'm totally off).
