Women need to know there are a lot of options out there, and Hill hopes the book will offer them a better way to articulate why one kind of birth control isn’t working and how another one might be a better fit. She wants women to use the book to understand their own bodies and to be able to make well-informed decisions about their health. “This book, hopefully, it's going to give women a lot of self-understanding, and also really an appreciation for how amazingly complex and well functioning our bodies really are,” Hill said. But until recently, most of it has been ignored and gone unstudied, Hill writes in This Is Your Brain on Birth Control: The Surprising Science of Women, Hormones, and the Law of Unintended Consequences. Understanding what these influences are, their full range of impact and how to change and manage them is critical to the health of women. These topics unaddressed by science are often met with suspicion by anyone who has ever owned a pair of ovaries or is an ovarian sympatist.Hormone-based birth control has a much more nuanced and widespread effect on women’s brains than we commonly think, according to a new book by Texas Christian University research psychologist Dr. These types of claims particularly when combined with sciences and medicine mishandling of women for so long have made it very difficult for anyone, even female scientists, to have thoughtful conversations about things like women's hormones and fertility regulation. We have to listen to a lot of people say a lot of dumb shit about our hormones and about whether we deserve the right to control our own fertility. There belief that women are irrational and therefore underserving of the same rights as men is something that has lingered in the public consciousness in a huge way. Sometimes even by our own doctors simply by virtue of our gender. Although scions and medicine has come a long way since these sorts of practices were common place every woman i know has had an experience of being treated as less rational version of a man. Women were routinely prescribed hysterectomies or anxiolytics like valium to treat the symptoms of hysteria which is a syndrome with symptoms that are suspiciously similar to the symptoms of being of human female who has to deal with stupid sexist bullshit.
“For a long time being female was treated by science and medicine as being akin to having a serious psychological disorder.
