       ‘Researchers found that women taking the combined oral contraceptive were 23% more likely to be diagnosed with depression and those using progestin-only pills (also known as “the mini-pill”) were 34% more likely. Teens were at the greatest risk of depression, with an 80% increase when taking the combined pill, and that risk is two-fold with the progestin-only pill. In addition, other hormone-based methods commonly offered to women seeking an alternative to the pill – such as the hormonal IUS/coil, the patch and the ring – were shown to increase depression at a rate much higher than either kind of oral contraceptives.’‘However . . . it seems that no study will ever be good enough for the medical community to take women’s experiences seriously. As soon as this research dropped, the experts lined up to deliver their usual mix of gaslighting and paternalistic platitudes. We’re told not to be alarmed, concerned, or deterred from continuing to use our hormonal contraceptives, mostly by men who have never and will never take them themselves (partly because the long-term, large-scale study undertaken by WHO on the “acceptability” of the male pill revealed it would negatively impact their emotional wellbeing).’https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/oct/03/pill-linked-depression-doctors-hormonal-contraceptives

       @Agnodice It’s insane how this is not taken seriously, nor even really spoken about. My doctor didn’t even mention the side effects when I first went on birth control. I had researched it a bit before and asked about things like depression, weight gain, blood clots, etc., “it’s rare, don’t worry, birth control is generally safe.” All my perfectly rational worries about birth control were completely valid, but my questions were totally brushed aside and disregarded. This happens to women every day, all because god forbid men have sex with a condom or take a male form of birth control.

       @ellewinter @Agnodice NO condom, NO WAY. NO exceptions. Why the fuck are women allowing men to NOT wear one?! Oh, yes, choosy choice. It’s so empowerful to be a man’s fucktoilet! Yass queen! And, yeah, THIS is why I am critical of all PIV. Whine all you want about your precious Nigels, and how much you love dick. Get a fucking clue. These men don’t care about your health or safety. THEY DON’T. Any man who dares complain about wearing one every time get the curb. Stop letting him stick his dick in you and watch how fast your Nigels’ facade of “love and respect” drops away.

       @yishengqingwa666 @Agnodice Flat out, sex has way more risks for women than men. Birth control can cause a lot of side effects despite how “safe” it’s presented. Should you get pregnant, abortion is almost impossible in several states in the US (look how many abortion clinics are in Oklahoma for example, it’s like 3 for the entire state). Wearing a condom is the absolute least that men can do, and they still complain. Your health is more important, ladies.
