Honestly I feel like the only things I post on here are from the podcast but I’m literally furious rn. Why do these girls continually talk about contraception when they have no clue about it? As a nurse, hearing people talk crap about this kind of thing scaremongering people basically into taking/trying contraception infuriates me. Of course everyone has different experiences on these things and feelings which are all valid but they give advice on things they’ve not even experienced. From what it sounds like they’ve both only tried the pill - again as a nurse, I agree to some extent the pill can cause a lot of side effects. But equally for some girls it works wonders. Saying how having the coil is ‘agony’ the pill will leave ‘long lasting effects’ if you get the coil it will cause ‘infection, perforation’ etc etc like are they okay? Do they REALISE how many young impressionable people they have following them, who may have thought oh I’m gonna listen to this episode because I want some advice on starting contraception to probably finish the episode thinking oh my god I cannot try anything now because it all sounds horrible. Nothing ticks me off more than people giving advice about medical stuff when they have no proper knowledge or in their case telling other peoples stories so they don’t even have the experience to go off other than the pill. Talk about contraception needs to be encouraged and whilst I used to think it was good they were starting to do that as time has gone on, every time they’ve spoken about it they sound so uneducated and I just want to scream at them how harmful it could be and probably end up causing MORE girls to NOT use contraception, resulting in bigger problems.
ps Sophia suggested the pull out method although she said ‘not that I’d really recommend it’ and started laughing, because the girls bf in the dilemma didn’t want to wear condoms and she couldn’t take the pill for health reasons. There are soooo many avenues to go down other than the pill or condoms. I understand their point that ultimately in terms of contraception condoms aside, it is down to the girl and if anything does happen with it they suffer from it and some men still have misogynistic views on contraception but it does take two to tango and make a baby. Sophia said she’d break up with her bf, as she always advises but we all know if it was actually her she wouldn’t, if he suggested he didn’t like wearing condoms and he’s like a ‘school child’ and immature for saying it’s not fair. She’s such a man hater, how about both parties sit down and have a conversation and research into different types of contraception if the girl doesn’t want the pill and he doesn’t want condoms - there’s so many options. Sorry for the rant, but honestly sometimes their stupidity and ignorance is baffling to me.
Ma'am you're wearing a Rolex
