Mutually scheduled is "we don't take the risk of pregnancy until we both want a kid." As opposed to evil women who babytrap a dude or evil men who sabotage birth control.

Mine wouldn't need to take a pill; we've got methods that work nicely already. Took some research and trial n' error, but there it is. It's just that working in fields with lots of unwanted kids, ANYTHING that reduces the numbers there is good. Literally anything.

And I'm not sure if he's more a feminist (self-described,) or a "gender is the least important item on a human's character sheet, you are a person, I'm a person, and our differing biology is no reason for us not to have one another's backs," intellectual purist. His response to having trans humans explained to him was "Darn. There's a cursed belt for that in 3.5 that would make their day if it were real."

My husband follows the research on this and VasalGel constantly. He got the comprehensive sex ed lecture freshman year and has always been an equal partner in our contraception decisions, e.g., two methods always, a backup in case one method's compromised, the method must suit both parties, etc. He's the one who told me it was okay to complain to my doctor when the Pill wasn't working out great for me and the method that does suit me best is one he looked up, based on my blood work and multiple white papers.

If you have the choice, ladies, marry a feminist engineer. Not only will your children be mutually scheduled, but he will have your favorite chocolate on automatic re-order synched to your cycle by the six-month anniversary.
