Why you think it's ethical that hormonal birth control's risks are shouldered by women only when using barrier methods or abstinence is shouldered by both men and women.
Because the risk offsets their financial gain.
Who's risk? And what financial gain?
Taking on the (extremely low) health risk of birth control as a sacrifice offsets the massive financial gain they acquire out of the relationship.
When you're not providing anything, you don't get to dictate the terms.
If you insist on looking it as merely transactional, then they are providing sex, and possibly, exclusive sex (in commited relationships). Most would reckon that very valuable.
I also challenge the risk is low. It is among the greater of risks among drugs. And for no medical benefit. They in fact are reproductive poisons. The same "benefit" (non conception of children) can be achieved with barrier methods (no side effects) or abstinence (no side effects).
