Not to say men are more responsible than women, but in this case I would tend to believe a man more than a woman.
You hear of cases of women trying to trick their husbands (or even boyfriends, and casual partners) into getting them pregnant. Saying they are taking the pill when they are not (and other tricks). Sometimes this is a financial move, sometimes a emotional one, but you do hear about it. I don't think I've ever heard of a guy doing this. I'm sure it's happened, but it's gotta be far less than the opposite.
Also, women often tend to be the ones in a relationship pushing for a pregnancy more than a man. Again not an 'always' situation, but more often than not a woman talks a man into a kid more than a man talks a woman into a kid.
So in this case, yes, I would believe it. Or at least I'd be far less worried about verifying a man's claim about taking the pill, than a woman's.
Lastly, just to not ruffle any feathers, I am not saying men are more responsible when it comes to making sure a pregnancy doesn't happen. Of course a lot of guys (asshats) bail when there is a mistake. But if there is a easy painless way (that doesn't involve mummifying your dick) to make sure it DOESN'T happen to begin with, I would feel safer that way.
Besides the ones that are already the type to bail anyway, and that's becoming less and less because of change in societal values for one, and the law for two, guys probably want to reduce the chances of pregnancy more than females.
Maybe that's just the way I see it cause I'm responsible. And have heard stories the other way.
