The Mighty Barrister tells it like it is in his comments about a new type of birth control that suppresses menstruation.
I don't think you have to be a "feminist" to see that misogyny is at the base of it. These women can't see that men are doing this to them in order to make them more available to be used and discarded. It used to be that if you wanted to get together with a woman, you had to stick around a while. Now, it's literally wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am. You are being used like a toilet, and you women are buying into it simply because it's "your choice."
I commented, and I was wondering, there is so much out there on the market to combat the side effects of menstruation. I hope this is not too personal, but between pregnancy and breastfeeding, I have not needed to think much about these problems since I have been married. I wonder if contraception has a direct effect (not just hormonally but because women are menstruating more) and has fueled more of an industry to combat the problems of PMS...
