We don't talk about it because "the pill" was one of the sacred cows of the Womens' Liberation movement, and any negative commentary, however rooted in fact, is taken as an attack on the idea of social freedom for women. It's unfortunate, because as you said it has significant effects on those who take it.
- hdjjhhvvhga 5y agoWe really, really need to fight this attitude of fearing the discussion ("because you help the alt right") in all aspects of social life. This brings so much harm to humanity. I don't understand why. So many things have a positive and a negative side. Why shouldn't we discuss both? If anything, admitting a fact that doesn't fit your world view is not a sign of weakness but clear reason. I wish more people understood that, including journalists.
