In response to an article published in a Puerto Rican newspaper, which described how clinical trials in Germany for an injectable hormonal contraceptive for men were stopped. Why? The side effects suffered by 1 in 10 men were too awful and consisted of depression, weight gain and acne… THOSE ARE EXACTLY THE SAME SIDE EFFECTS THAT WOMEN ON HORMONAL BIRTH CONTROL SUFFER. Damn the patriarchy.

Oh hey, I get that with PCOS, no birth control needed! YAY HORMONES! YAY BEING A WOMAN!
