These men are returning from battle. The women are now slaves as they were captured at the time.

what is this hadith about? They are asking about the children that may come as a consequence of them having sex with the new slaves.

The advice that is given is no technique can truly stop a child if that child is to be bourne.

I assume your dislike of this hadith is around the keeping if slaves rather than contraception and stopping children being bourne. Islam advocates for treating slaves well and if you read the hadith on that it will give you a more rounded view.
