I have this feminist friend. We got into an argument between socialism and capitalism. She’s Canadian from the Toronto area. Other than her mentality, she’s a pretty decent person. Still, she’s a feminist with serious problems with men.
Our argument began to focus on free birth control. As I see it, I’m not benefiting from that, and even if I did, I should pay for my own. Her argument was that men benefit from this. Unfortunately, I wasn’t patient enough to dig into her point. She was however stunned in her argument when I told her those women aren’t having sex with me. Which is true, women won’t have sex with me. Also, that’s double insulting that I should pay for it. “Here, you pay for me to have sex with other men, and thank me for the privilege to do so. Also, should I have a baby, then if you pander enough, I might let you pay for it too.”
So, I don’t know the feminist theory about why men benefit from paying for free birth control for women. I don’t have a problem splitting the bill with a partner, just nobody else’s.
I’m sure this answer needs too camps: 1. Why the feminists say it benefits men, and 2. The real agenda. The real agenda is probably obvious, that they think they can push men around and now they want to milk more benefits out of men, combined with the arrogance to think they’re creating a system that will finally destroy them. It’s probably also to reinforce the idea that women are helpless victims of their need for sex with men, and that men are responsible, or something. I don’t know, it gets weird at that point, because they really don’t seem to be interested in sex outside the context of getting something.
The female birth control pill is a steroid.

From the the article in the above link.
“Whereas the subtle structural effects of naturally-occurring steroid hormones and sex differences in the brain have been extensively studied, few studies have examined the role of synthetic hormones on changes in the human brain. What happens, then, when the female brain gets a significant and artificial dose of steroid hormone, either progesterone, oestrogen or both? We know what happens below the waist, the pregnancies prevented. What happens above the neck, as this steroidal tsunami washes over the neural coastline?”
There are some interesting comments below the article.
