Why are women so eager to chemically neuter themselves with birth control?

[Anonymous]

The science is pretty clear, hormonal birth control causes depression, weight gain, etc.

Just eating carbs at the wrong time in the day can significantly change how people perceive you. You think popping hormonal birth control pills won't change how you look too? Negatively?

You wanna complain about men not pursuing you but you aren't putting out any feminine pheromones. Or you aren't even attracted to the masculine pheromones in the air and you aren't responding properly to men in your environment.

No one said that birth control was perfect, its just that they are better than the alternative. It is a relatively simple solution to a problem which can have life altering consequences and as such are worth taking on said burden. Also pheromones are bullshit, not because they do not exist or whatever but because humans dont really respond to them anymore due to evolution, and not because they take birth control.

Also even if humans did respond to pheromones like that, why would that be a good thing? Pheromones and such is a strategy which evolution created to control animals who were too stupid to understand what they needed to do and therefore had to be somewhat forcibly compelled to do it instead. It is something which actively undermines "free will" so to speak.

If birth control made it so women stopped being a slave to pheromones then quite frankly I would count that as a blessing rather than an actual issue.

Why are so many people eager to proclaim scientific theories that were known to be inaccurate before they were born?

They're not "neutering" themselves; they're temporarily making themselves unable to conceive. They can stop taking the pills if they want to have a baby. This is like claiming someone is "defying nature" by dropping the childbirth fatality rate below 30%.

Many of us don’t want kids. And if we’re not protected against pregnancy, then sex is off the table. I’ve been on the pill for 17 years and I’ve managed to find a great man and keep myself in great shape. No depression, no ssri, no addictions.

it can cause side effects but they are observed in less then 10% of women taking pills.

I use the newest generation mini pill and no side effects, no period, no pain, no pms... I can finally live :D

[IslaTheWitch]

lmao, if I want to have kids I can stop taking pills. It's hormonal birth control so it's fully reversible in moment of no taking hormones anymore.

and ovulation doesn't determine femininity. It's just a biological function happening when specific hormones set is in our bodies we can fake it or block it :D

[IslaTheWitch]

lmao

learn how minipills work first and then share...

and I've found true love as it's totally not connected to my cycle :D

educate yourself first, because you make a clown out of yourself :D

fortunately men prefer mature personality over guessing you present :D

Women choose birth control for various reasons, including preventing pregnancy, managing menstrual symptoms, and regulating hormones. It's a personal decision based on individual needs and circumstances. While some may opt for hormonal methods, others prefer non-hormonal options or alternative contraceptives. It's about having agency over one's body and reproductive choices, which is a fundamental aspect of women's health and empowerment.

I like your keen perception.

I have never taken them nor will I for the reasons you site and more.

[RoronoaZoro8]

Because they don't want to have babies?

Also birth control can help with other completely unrelated issues like having more regular, lighter periods.

Because they are smart they know the world is chronically overpopulated and are preventing it become catastrophically so

Most men won't stop fucking and raping, spreading seed like a farmer in the field

[exitseven]

So they can have unlimited unprotected sex without getting pregnant.

What's your source for these claims?
