Is the Base Rate of Hormonal Birth Control Going Up?
I think that people get so nervous about talking about the potential consequences or side effects of hormonal birth control just because of how important it is for women, especially in this sort of dystopian post-row era. It's like I think that we're smart enough to hold both of those two pieces of information. We can't simultaneously hold that birth control is really important and that it's played this huge role in terms of women's upward social mobility and economic independence. But also, it can have some really shitty side effects and it comes like brain development.
