However it never got past the clinical testing stage because its side effects were things like “moodiness, extreme cramping, hunger, increased sexual drive” and were considered INHUMANE.what the fuck do they think women go through every goddamn month seriouslyI’M SORRY MEN CAN’T HANDLE MENSTRATIONmen are pussiesMen are not pussies because they can’t handle having onemen are penisesthe post was amazing and the comments made it better.Oh, it’s even worse than that.Hormonal birth control for men has been a solved problem since the 1970s, and the current iterations of the technology are actually substantially superior to equivalent treatments for women, demonstrating higher effectiveness, less dangerous side effects, and lower prevalence of side effects in virtually all modern trials. At this point, some forty years on, such treatments continue to be refused certification on the ostensible basis of concerns over the purely hypothetical effects of long-term use.Meanwhile, a hormonal birth control treatment for women whose known and documented side effects include “sudden death” can go from the laboratory to the pharmacy shelf in under five years.Really shows you where our priorities lie, doesn’t it?And those highly questionable birth control pills were distributed to women of colour in poverty. Free test subjects and the women needed the opportunity to not have children. The government is disgusting.Intersectionality, y'all. -- source link
