Relying on birth control pills and other primarily woman-oriented techniques leaves 100% of the downsides to the woman (from health risks to emotional challenges and beyond). Comparatively, a condom has barely any downside for anyone involved.

Come on man. Condoms are a fantastic and effective public health intervention. But they definitely make sex feel 70% worse, there is a downside.

70% is a bit dramatic. The pills do not protect against STDs. Also, when I was a teen, I did the math. Having 70% "worse" sex was actually 100% better than having 0% sex.
