This article from The Guardian write by Hadley Freeman explains the fact that many young woman are choosing not to use birth control options. As the author says many women are choosing to use new “formulas” for contraception as the combination of relying on various smartphones apps or even the historic method of the pull-out.
According to some studies –detail in the text– over the past few years this is carrying not unintended pregnancies, but also the irresponsible use of emergency contraception and highest rates of sexually transmitted infections (STI). Some young women resent having to shoulder the responsibility for contraception, because historically young men today have been spoiled in this regard. But an accidental pregnancy almost certainly requires the involvement of more than one person who is flying contraception-free. It’s feels a little easy and predictable to blame the woman for getting pregnant unintentionally.
This illustrate that some young women today disagree and see having the control as a burdensome, irritatingly one-side responsibility. As the article claims, one aspect that has played a considerable part in this shift is that many women have experienced negative side-effects from the pill, from making them feel “crazy” to loss of libido to a fear of blood clotting.
As the article insists: “What young people still need, it seems, is uncompromising education telling them that just because they’re never been pregnant before doesn’t mean they can’t get pregnant”. And also doesn’t mean they can’t get an STI.
