GUTMANN, Matthew. Planning Men out of Family Planning: A case study from Mexico.Translated byLili Atala. Rev. interdiscip. estud. género Col. Méx. [online]. 2015, vol.1, n.1, pp.54-75.  Epub Feb 24, 2021. ISSN 2395-9185.  https://doi.org/10.24201/eg.v1i1.17.

Nowhere on earth do men participate in contraception in larger numbers than do women. As highly effective forms of contraception for women have become widely available throughout the world, and as women became the crucial target of planned parenthood campaigns in the last several decades, decisions about birth control have increasing occurred in a female contraceptive culture. Men have been intentionally and inadvertently marginalized from responsibility for preventing pregnancy, including by the transnational pharmaceutical industry, national family planning agencies, religious institutions, and multilateral aid agencies and foundations. The low rate of male participation in contraception in Oaxaca is shaped by global structures and ideologies articulated in the modernist premise of dichotomous male and female sexualities, legitimated through flawed biological platitudes.

Keywords : Contraception; Family planning campaigns; Mexico; Male and Female sexualities.
