In my friend group alone, there have been contraception-induced blood clots, never-ending periods, severe bouts of depression, and even a stroke and subsequent lawsuit. I too have had several “worsts” over the years, but a brand new personal record was set last month at what was supposed to be a routine OB/GYN appointment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Afterwards at home, emotionally drained, in a significant amount of pain and desperately looking for distraction, I made the mistake of opening Twitter.

But this happened to be the day I had attempted, unsuccessfully, to get an IUD implanted. Multiple women had warned me in advance that this would be a very painful procedure, and ultimately the process involved agonizing forced cervical dilation, two injections into my cervix, and bleeding and cramping so awful that it gave me insight into what childbirth might be like. At the end of it all, the process failed for reasons I won’t bore you with. When I apologized for crying, my doctor reassured me that other women often have similar responses—or simply just pass out—during the procedure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then, the “hard pass” tweet above. Needless to say, coming home to the sight of multiple men, including ones that consider themselves feminist allies (both Patton Oswalt and Cameron Kasky “liked” Diedrich Bader’s tweet) gleefully acting as if getting a single, external birth control injection was a preposterous proposition didn’t just feel like a slap in the face.

In the \u003ca href=\"https://www.guttmacher.org/fact-sheet/contraceptive-use-united-states\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">United States in 2014\u003c/a>, over 13 million women were using some form of hormonal birth control, versus 5 million condom users.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The right to access the pill was hard-fought (between 1965 and 1972, only married couples had permission to use it) and sparked a wave of newfound liberation for women once it was available to all.

This despite the plethora of side effects (well-documented since the \u003ca href=\"https://www.nwhn.org/pill-hearings/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">1970 Senate hearings about pill safety\u003c/a>) and physical trauma that we suffer in the process of using it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As modern inequality goes, the division of responsibility between men and women when it comes to contraception is woefully under-examined.

The abandonment of the study constituted a major disappointment for millions of women, especially given how long it took to even get a trial for men at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the time, one researcher named \u003ca href=\"https://www.bbc.com/news/health-47691567\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Allan Pacey told the BBC\u003c/a> that, “Unfortunately, so far, there has been very little pharmaceutical company interest in bringing a male contraceptive pill to the market, for reasons that I don’t fully understand but I suspect are more down to business than science.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Bader’s tweet proved, many men seem to have no idea of the physical, mental and financial strain that contraception routinely places on women. Just months ago, one male acquaintance even told me that birth control was mostly designed for women because it’s “easier for women’s bodies to deal with.” When I pushed back, he couldn’t explain how or why he believed this.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Truthfully, that misconception is not entirely his fault either. Women’s birth control burdens are grossly under-acknowledged, under-discussed and under-depicted in American pop culture. And while we have seen increasingly frank and realistic depictions of abortion on TV in recent years—thanks to shows like \u003cem>Shrill\u003c/em>, \u003cem>Dear White People\u003c/em>, \u003cem>Girls\u003c/em>, \u003cem>GLOW\u003c/em>, \u003cem>Scandal\u003c/em> and \u003cem>Grey’s Anatomy\u003c/em>—women’s contraceptive issues remain pretty much out of the picture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Granted, \u003cem>Master of None\u003c/em>‘s premiere did feature a magnificently awkward first-date Plan B purchase, and \u003cem>Shrill\u003c/em> brilliantly depicted the high cost of morning-after pills (main character Annie always paid for them, not her boyfriend). But emergency contraception is no reflection of what women most regularly put up with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Evaluating passing mentions of women’s birth control on TV, they tend to either remind women how lucky we are to have access to it (like the \u003ca href=\"https://www.vulture.com/2013/06/mad-men-a-history-of-peggy-and-joan.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">episode of \u003cem>Mad Men\u003c/em>\u003c/a> when Joan tells Peggy about a medication with a side effect that acts like the pill), or they gloss over side effects completely. In a \u003ca href=\"https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2510746/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2012 episode\u003c/a> of \u003cem>The Mindy Project\u003c/em>, for example, when a college student tells Dr. Lahiri, “I heard that birth control makes you fat and cranky,” the doc simply quips back, “So does pregnancy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Truth be told, television has been doing a terrible job of reflecting women’s reproductive realities for decades. Teens watching sitcoms from the ’90s, for example, might be left with the impression that women’s contraception of choice back then was the diaphragm. \u003cem>Sex and the City\u003c/em>, \u003cem>Friends\u003c/em>, \u003cem>Felicity \u003c/em>and \u003cem>Seinfeld\u003c/em> all had diaphragm storylines at a time when \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/NCHS/data/series/sr_23/sr23_029.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">less than 1%\u003c/a> of American women actually used them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while \u003cem>Seinfeld\u003c/em>‘s “sponge-worthy” episode remains one of the series’ funniest, even in 1995 it seemed like an odd choice for the thoroughly modern Elaine Benes. “Each episode, even the \u003cem>Sex and the City\u003c/em> episode,” notes \u003ca href=\"https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/jpg9qd/90s-sitcoms-were-strangely-obsessed-with-this-unpopular-form-of-birth-control\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>Vice\u003c/em> \u003c/a>journalist Kaleigh Rogers, “was written by a man who perhaps just didn’t have as keen of an awareness that diaphragms weren’t really a thing any more.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And therein lies the problem. There still aren’t enough female voices in writers’ rooms or on TV, and the ones that are there aren’t, for the most part, concerning themselves with this topic. The fact that \u003cem>Shrill—\u003c/em>an exception to the rule\u003cem>—\u003c/em>managed to cause a full-blown \u003ca href=\"https://www.glamour.com/story/what-shrill-gets-right-and-wrong-about-the-morning-after-pill-weight-limit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">internet panic\u003c/a> with its revelation that emergency contraception is “only dosed for women 175 pounds and under” speaks volumes about TV characters’ need to be having this conversation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Birth control as the near-exclusive domain of women wasn’t an idea conceived by pop culture, but it’s not an assumption that’s getting any pushback from it, either. And as long as TV continues to ignore daily birth control realities for women, it halts the national conversation, helps stall progress at the pharmaceutical level, and keeps men in the dark.\u003c/p>\n\n",

And while we have seen increasingly frank and realistic depictions of abortion on TV in recent years—thanks to shows like \u003cem>Shrill\u003c/em>, \u003cem>Dear White People\u003c/em>, \u003cem>Girls\u003c/em>, \u003cem>GLOW\u003c/em>, \u003cem>Scandal\u003c/em> and \u003cem>Grey’s Anatomy\u003c/em>—women’s contraceptive issues remain pretty much out of the picture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Granted, \u003cem>Master of None\u003c/em>‘s premiere did feature a magnificently awkward first-date Plan B purchase, and \u003cem>Shrill\u003c/em> brilliantly depicted the high cost of morning-after pills (main character Annie always paid for them, not her boyfriend). But emergency contraception is no reflection of what women most regularly put up with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Evaluating passing mentions of women’s birth control on TV, they tend to either remind women how lucky we are to have access to it (like the \u003ca href=\"https://www.vulture.com/2013/06/mad-men-a-history-of-peggy-and-joan.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">episode of \u003cem>Mad Men\u003c/em>\u003c/a> when Joan tells Peggy about a medication with a side effect that acts like the pill), or they gloss over side effects completely. In a \u003ca href=\"https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2510746/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2012 episode\u003c/a> of \u003cem>The Mindy Project\u003c/em>, for example, when a college student tells Dr. Lahiri, “I heard that birth control makes you fat and cranky,” the doc simply quips back, “So does pregnancy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Truth be told, television has been doing a terrible job of reflecting women’s reproductive realities for decades. Teens watching sitcoms from the ’90s, for example, might be left with the impression that women’s contraception of choice back then was the diaphragm. \u003cem>Sex and the City\u003c/em>, \u003cem>Friends\u003c/em>, \u003cem>Felicity \u003c/em>and \u003cem>Seinfeld\u003c/em> all had diaphragm storylines at a time when \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/NCHS/data/series/sr_23/sr23_029.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">less than 1%\u003c/a> of American women actually used them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while \u003cem>Seinfeld\u003c/em>‘s “sponge-worthy” episode remains one of the series’ funniest, even in 1995 it seemed like an odd choice for the thoroughly modern Elaine Benes. “Each episode, even the \u003cem>Sex and the City\u003c/em> episode,” notes \u003ca href=\"https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/jpg9qd/90s-sitcoms-were-strangely-obsessed-with-this-unpopular-form-of-birth-control\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>Vice\u003c/em> \u003c/a>journalist Kaleigh Rogers, “was written by a man who perhaps just didn’t have as keen of an awareness that diaphragms weren’t really a thing any more.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And therein lies the problem. There still aren’t enough female voices in writers’ rooms or on TV, and the ones that are there aren’t, for the most part, concerning themselves with this topic. The fact that \u003cem>Shrill—\u003c/em>an exception to the rule\u003cem>—\u003c/em>managed to cause a full-blown \u003ca href=\"https://www.glamour.com/story/what-shrill-gets-right-and-wrong-about-the-morning-after-pill-weight-limit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">internet panic\u003c/a> with its revelation that emergency contraception is “only dosed for women 175 pounds and under” speaks volumes about TV characters’ need to be having this conversation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
