Taking the Pink Pill

Women don’t take The Pill in Japan, and they also don’t tend to use tampons, either, as they are also thought of as being “invasive.” Japanese women be all ownin’ they boddeez ’n’ stuff, like fer reelz, y’all.

Thanks for this video! Very information about a super-important topic that a lot of people (in the USA anyway) take for granted. I've only been with women who were on the "advanced rhythm method" (tracking of waking body temperature, etc.), which is a super-reliable method of birth control, with condoms during fertile times. Japanese women have had little computers with attached thermometers since the transistor radio was invented--it's just a given. American women have to work harder and have more medical and mathematical training, although there is now a Danish smartphone app with a BlueTooth thermometer, but of course such things aren't used widely in the USA for...reasons...or rather, it's just another symptom of the collective background radiation that we as 'merkinz hate women and don't care about their issues. I've known one or two women who took The Pill to regulate an irregular and problematic menstrual cycle. I haven't chatted with many, or any, women who took The Pill on the reg' (French pun?), and maybe only a few who said they don't take it "because it messes with your body in bad ways" (which seems pretty obvious), i.e., they agreed with me when I ask things like "doesn't that really mess up your system?" This just seems like really obvious stuff, i.e., that The Pill is super-invasive in terms of what it does to the body. One thing I didn't see you mention is that fish all around the world (yes, fish, ha, ha...moving on) are contaminated with estrogen from all of these hormones we're taking and then peeing out, etc. A pill that turns off your ability to have babies, or gives you X-ray vision, or super-strength, or immediately causes you to lose a ton of weight, or allows you to read minds, or understand any language, or turns on or off any other superpower that no human should have--we should immediately ask if it's healthy to take at all and for how long or for the general population, which is what a clinical trial is supposed to check (was there even one of those?)
