Like seriously it’s what prevents unplanned pregnancies. And in order to stop procreating after we are done having kids birth control is the top method so that we don’t have 10 plus kids or get dangerous pregnancies at 50 for real why are conservatives so dumb sometimes?

There’s different types of birth controls. Also other methods yes condoms but condoms can also bust. Not being on birth control will always be way more risky. The only positive reason why women who are sexually active shouldn’t be on birth control is if she is trying to conceive. Now of course she doesn’t have to be on birth control if she doesn’t want to but I personally think that’s stupid not to be unless you are planning on getting pregnant

Btw Im on birth control so yes I know exactly what it’s like and actually it hasn’t negatively affected my hormones it’s actually bettered my hormones so all these sayings about birth control are from men, women who have never experienced birth control, or women who have only tried birth control pills therefore their view on birth control being bad is inaccurate

For reference I’ve personally tried multiple types of birth control I just think it can be used as a tactic to harm women’s health

Go off queen on all the other stuff but there are ACTUAL studies showing the long term effects of birth control, it does increase your risk of certain cancers and it does mess with your body’s hormones which can be hard on you once you come off them. Go ahead and use them but don’t act like they’re not dangerous or without risks bc then you look ignorant

This is crazy lol, acting like your experience is universal to all women and anything differing from that is from a MAN?! Girl what 😭 plenty of women have had bad experiences with birth control, it’s not just men. And secondly, yes it can help control your hormones by manipulating them, which is what we’re saying. That can be bad in and of itself and sometimes hormone imbalances can show you what you need to work on, but a pill that masks what your body is saying to you isn’t always the best

And again we’re talking about long term risks. Messing with your hormones for so many years has negative effects over time. They are studies on it. Not many because as someone else mentioned no one does research on women really, but even then there are still SOME studies showing the adverse effects of messing with your hormones

No I did research. I’m on a mirena IUD and have been fine actually it hasn’t negatively affected caused me to lose weight and to have less bloatings from periods. Also IUD long term use will not affect my chances of being able to conceive if I want to research says that woman can conceive within the first month of removal from an IUD even after long term use. So the studies you are talking about are false and from people on social media that are making shit up

Ok yes It’s the IUD that’s good. I don’t know why the pills exist as a method they don’t work they don’t even work that well in decreasing pregnancy chances bc most women can’t remember to take it at the right time each day.

I see the opposite and I see tons of childless women encouraging that. And non looking to have a life like I want

I think you’re missing the point. Childless women are just trying to tell women it’s ok to embrace that life style they aren’t telling women not to have kids.

But I see trad wife’s acting like they think it’s so sad that most women nowadays don’t want to be trad or housewives which there’s nothing wrong with if most women choose not to be stat at home wife’s. Like I’m sorry that we choose to have a lifestyle where we aren’t controlled and managed by our husbands just so we can make our own financial decisions without his permission.

I think it’s sad when women don’t want o have kids, but I don’t really care but I thinks is extremely rude and ignorant of you if you think all traditional wives are controlled and managed by their husbands

That’s not what I entirely meant by that but look you are also talking to a woman who grew up having a housewife as a mother. My dad was the one who had to be the one approving of everything whereas my mom couldn’t give a yes on anything without his permission. Therefore I hated the lifestyle I decided that I don’t want a man in full control lifestyle for myself or my future kids

I mean but honey that’s the definition I’m not saying that there is anything wrong with wanting to be controlled by your husband financially I mean if that’s the lifestyle you want then ok.

Plus I’ve heard horrible stories of housewives getting abused by their husbands and after getting divorced bc they never had a job they can’t afford to live. That’s why I feel wiser working a career than not working one. Bc I’ll never assume divorce, death of my husband, or my husband having to go to a nursing facility for the rest of his life is never going to happen.

I can see how your up raising could make you very against it, and thank you for willing to share all that, I think there are way to have more traditional roles without it being controlling and the bread winner approving all everything. It can turn abusivr but so can any relationship. I think theirs someone for everyone and that any path someone takes can bring them joy

But that doesn’t mean all women are supposed to be more fulfilled being a trad or stay at home wife. Like I’m not gonna sit here and have a trad wife tell me how I will be happier and more fulfilled if I was a trad wife just like her. Bc I know myself very well and I’ve always been more happy staying out of the house and doing something productive and I’ve personally always found making my own income very rewarding and fulfilling and will never sit there and be told that it isn’t.
