Well, for your sake, I'll change it up a bit.

In my last post, I mentioned a lot about the birth control pill, which is evidently designed for women.
If you read the last post, you'll see that I mentioned a BUNCH of side effects of the pill and how it can really screw up a women's hormonal system and lead to crazy things like mood swings or depression (thank you Kailey Romanick for the comment on my last blog with the previous information. M. Noecker, that counts as a source.)
So as I was saying, the pill often has negative side effects on women and can also sometimes have impacts on their reproductive systems. Imagine a situation where a young girl, say 16, is told by her doctor that she must be on a permanent birth control (meaning no periods) or else she becomes infertile. (I know I've mentioned this before, but bare with me here.)
Well, as scared as I was faced with this situation, I couldn't help but think : Wait a minute here, if I don't ever have a period..how will I even be able to have a kid? Doesn't a woman need to be able to have a period and ovulate in order to get pregnant? I just kept thinking how both of those options that the doctor gave me were completely useless, cause either way, it seems I won't be having kids.
Naturally, I'm going to complain about this to people. So I was talking to someone (again, can't remember who. I'm horrible with names.) and they said "well, what if the man took birth control instead of the woman?"
...Interesting.
So here's my proposal : I believe scientists and doctors alike should come up with a form of birth control for a man to take to help reduce the chances. Some of you may say : well he does, he has the condom. My counter-argument is that the condom doesn't even affect the guys' reproductive system.
I feel that, if the women has been on birth control for years and years, it's bound to take its toll on the whole system, right? And that baby is developing inside said uterus for 9 months! So wouldn't it make more sense for the male reproductive system to be affected, and not the female? You know, for the sake of the development of the kid?
Give me your thoughts! (if you actually managed to follow any of that... even I had a hard time.)

I kinda agree with you..for the part that I was able to understand, laugh out loud. The guys should have some sort of pill that will help the women get pregnant, or something. Well, keep up the good work, smiley face.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry I was able to understand everything... Haha, some of your points made me laugh out loud. I like your idea that male's should take birth control, they should get a taste of what we have to deal with on a daily basis. I like your point that the baby is developing inside said uterus for 9 months therefore the male should take a pill so we are not harmed and it doesn`t effect the baby. Good job!
ReplyDeleteBro! Wouldn't that be nice...Scientists should definitely work on that, it's unfair that girls have to go through the side effects on top of their period so as not to get pregnant. Guys have it so easy, they dont understand how much work and worry it is for a woman
ReplyDeleteThere is one other version of birth control for men, it's called a vasectomy. It's a permanent one yes, but it is one more other than the condom. Plus if there would be a "pill" for men and that it would have around the same side-effects... it would be interesting and SCARY to now what would happen (Mood swings?).
ReplyDeleteI liked how you said scientists should make a pill men should have to take. Aha. And I agree with Kayla.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of guys having a pill, but if it messes with our biochemistry, wouldn't it mess with theirs?
