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. 
[Image description: head of a corgi on a pink and blue alternating background. Text above reads “no hormonal contraceptives for men”. Bottom text reads “Side effects are too awful: depression, weight gain, acne, wtf”. End description]

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