Who's responsibility is it to get/bring the condoms the Man's or the Woman's?

Question

Is it the mans job to get the condoms? I keep seeing these posts and arguments about it. So I was curious to see what everyone thought. 

I agree that the man should get the condoms, he knows his size (or should at least) and what works best for him. If he's a virgin or inexperienced, he is still the one who was taught about condoms. Because in my sex ed class I learned that it goes on the banana. Period. End of story. So had I been a person who didn't look stuff up then I would have never known. 

Though there are girl condoms, which I think are awesome, they also cost more (at least all the brands that they sell where I live) and the majority of the girls I know already are, or are under pressure to go on the pill by their boyfriends or other guys their age.

I also personally carry a condom with me, just in case, because I do think everyone should be trying to protect themselves. but it may not fit. 

So who's responsibility is it, the man's or the woman's?

In perfect rainbow land it's both, you will be honest and open in your communications and both work maturely to prevent unwanted pregnancies before you have sex and right after your unicorn ride.

The real world is that guys hate wearing condoms, so they'll often "forget" to hope you let them bareback. And since women are the ones who can get pregnant, they really should always have a stash.

Neither has a responsibility. If the male brings condoms, they'll use his. If the female brings condoms, they'll use hers. If they both bring condoms, they'll use whichever one they want to (e. g. different brands). However, one cannot blame another for not bringing condoms.

If it's a committed relationship it should be something both of you discuss, as far as who is going to have the condoms on hand and when. Condoms aren't one size fits all, but as I said, if it's committed you'll KNOW your guys dick size. So it should be an equal responsibility.

It should be discussed and shared equally in responsibility for birth control. Perhaps whoever's place they are should make sure birth control is on hand.

I say both. if you're planning on it then you should always prepare to have protection. but yeah the guy should go buy some and not expect the girl to already have them. but still its better if both are prepared.

It's the responsibility of anyone who doesn't want pregnancy or stds. Obviously in theory the guy should be paying for them (or getting them for free). But if a girl chooses to get involved with a lazy, irresponsible fuck it's on her to either insist he get them or get them herself before she hops in the sack with him, otherwise she should kick him to the curb and find a better partner or deal with the consequences.
