- vanusa 5y agoYou can rag on the ruling class and the affluent, white, male, able-bodied elite all you want -- but one wonders what the real agenda here is behind the perceived need to push a cartoon-like and objectively distorted narratives, such as: Consider the birth control pill.1 Developed by Harvard physicians, Drs. Pincus and Rock, and funded in part by Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood, it was originally intended to bolster a program of racial eugenics on colonized and “undesirable” people. These pills were tested on Massachusetts asylum patients and working-class Puerto Rican women without their consent, often to deadly outcomes. Not to defend the PR birth control trials, but there are a number of distortions in this characterization - which I will leave to careful reader to dissect.
