I've never been able to fathom how most women can see hormonal birth control as a good thing.
You're actively fucking around with your body to such an extent that it can and will alter your judgment, thinking, and decision processes - just so you can... have sex? And we're supposed to applaud this?
More and more I'm stumbling across topics I know better than to consider too deeply, as the endpoint is rather depressing to consider.
This is an excellent point. I think if it hadn't been for my own occasional issues with certain medications I wouldn't have developed an almost obsessive habit of researching any medical treatment options before trying them.
Although I guess I also do the same thing when narrowing down most consumer products too.
I suppose part of the idea is that it promotes a more consistent state, with less variation due to hormone cycles. Which on paper would seem like it might make sense, especially with other supposed benefits.
And I think some women (more-so in recent years) probably did do at least some research on what pros and cons different methods had, but I expect psychological effects and the actual benefit of natural female hormone cycles are often underplayed in most literature.

Women are whores and never should have been given the opportunities to make choices.
