She goes to the gym 5 times a week with me and we do real exercies, etc. she is in great shape but always puts on about 10lbs when on the pill. it is not "freshman" 15, she is 22 lol.smoth wrote:That is an outright lie. It is easier to make a female birth control pill than a male one. It is that simple.d-gun wrote:the frustrating thing is that there are so many easy, safe male birth control alternatives but they wont ever be used because companies claim there is "no market" for them.
meanwhile all our girls get stuck with taking hormones that drive them crazy.

weight gain on the pill.. sorry man a lot of women say that but many of them are getting on the pill around the same time as the freshmen 15 which is just a natural part of weight gain. Women in the us are fat because they are lazy and held to lighter standards than men. Sure there is all that body image crap but none of that is about actual healthy build. Just like women with large breasts and back pain. really? bitch exercise your shoulders and back. NOT A ONE DOES it and if they do it is some bs dvd jazzercise shit. Not getting in the gym and really working out. So I reject that overly coddling view of women. Yes society a little different in it's treatment of women.
Yes they get paid less. They also get pregnant and take 9 month maternity leave. Yes they get a period and cramps, they also use that as a general excuse to act irresponsible. I know women who get bad periods and the last thing they have time for is to run around acting like a retarded bitch.
People are lazy and make excuses.
All this boo hoo, I am a woman and I have it hard because I can get pregnant. Yes she has to take a pill but also unlike us she gets to be the thing to bring a life into the world. She can feed it with her breasts and will have a literal blood bond with that child. That is beyond amazing, so what if she has to take pills. I could post a picture of my medicine cabinet, it is 2 fucking rows deep. Men bear the actual weight of the family, society demands more of us and frankly I think it is bullshit to sit there and coddle women. This coming from a feminist! I believe in womens rights and their beauty and natural role in the world is a great one. However, the equalist in me also feels that women will never be equal, simply because unless they are sterile and raised to actual standards instead of the coddling little girls get, they are unreliable and that is fact. You might get some hyper competitive bitch that can really throw the punches with men but really they simply are not equal because men are different, just like women.

Here is what I do know that may help you. try and see if she is on generics, if she is, get her on the brand name for a while, it might be more expensive, but fucking hell, it is her body and the only one she has.
Vasectomies can be reversed, tuboctomies once reversed can result is tubal preggers(forget the proper term) and that is potentially fatal. Vasectomies also have a chance to undo themselves, so don't expect a guaranty. The shot may or may not work, panda tried it, it had bad results. Fact of the matter is the pill can be unreliable if she ever misses it, you guys are in for a world of hurt.
So check into that. Have a meeting with her gynecologist. you are her partner, be supportive and visit with her. A gynecologist can give you better advice then a bunch of neckbeards on the spring forum.
I exercise regularly, am in good shape, and have been on the pill for quite some time and have never experienced weight gain because of the pill even though the packet says that weight gain is a side effect. You two should really go and consult a gynecologist together to learn more about contraceptives and what's going on with your girlfriend. Not all women are very well informed about that kind of thing. I know that I've always had to be careful about what kinds of medications I take, including over-the-counter medications. I've always had problems with fainting, which isn't that uncommon in women even though a lot of women don't have it. The birth control that I'm on seems to have reduced that problem and it helps my skin. I'm glad I'm taking it instead of the shot, because that really made me feel sick and I agree with Smoth that you should ask the gynocologist about switching from the generic brand of birth control.d-gun wrote:She goes to the gym 5 times a week with me and we do real exercies, etc. she is in great shape but always puts on about 10lbs when on the pill. it is not "freshman" 15, she is 22 lol.
it turns out she is on generics, we'll try another pill and see if it does better.
thankfully we live in Canada so the morning after pill/abortions are readily available at family planning centers to aide women with their right to choose.

that seems expensive. Depending on brand/super market there are 25-50 cent per Verh├╝terli here. Smallest package contains 4 for 0.99Ôé¼ or something.d-gun wrote:hard to make a choice when you have to drop 20 bucks on them
whats wrong with women's studies? have you ever taken a course? read a book? glanced at a syllabus?Pxtl wrote:*must resist urge to make women's studies jokes*.
I was guessing the joke would probably either be about studying a woman's anatomy, or something generically bigoted (and therefore funny) like studying the ------- sink.d-gun wrote:whats wrong with women's studies? have you ever taken a course? read a book? glanced at a syllabus?Pxtl wrote:*must resist urge to make women's studies jokes*.
