Birth control is a thorny issue. I said above, I don't have a problem with this marketing method if it means we sneak birth control to people because lord knows we could use more. What I have a problem with is that we're totally fine with using sex to sell everything, so long as its catered to the male gaze. Trying to let women know that, hey, sex doesn't have to be babies! Is taboo. So taboo, in fact, we can't say what, exactly, the benefits of not having babies are except for better periods. Because heaven forfend we abandon the "babies make us better women" narrative.

In short, this isn't just about birth control; it's still about ignoring women's sexual drives.

Yeah, I was saying I agreed with you on that part of it.
