Birth Control Pills: A Short Summary And Analysis

Pill, patch, implant, and IUD are different type of birth control pills that help women to prevent pregnancy. Most of the women commonly use birth control pills. Birth control pill didn’t come into the picture until the 1960’s and since then it have changed the society and womanhood. Welch (2010) have expressed that birth control pill did manage to change women’s life beyond the main purpose of it, which is to delay having a family. Other reasons for birth control methods are: reducing childbearing, price of delaying children, decrease in family size, postponing parenthood due to higher education and job security, self-identity, delaying marriage plan to have better spousal choice, and etc. (Nisen, 2013). The main element of birth control
Women used to had very limited options and choice career-wise and relationship-wise. Pregnancy is one of the strong predictors of how establishes a woman would be in career field. Young women tends to be expect to get marry and have family in their 20s. They’re expected to find their future husband opposed to pursuing college degree, establish professional career, and so on forth (Pataki, 2013). The fact that Raquel Welch mentioned that the birth control pill method have had help numerous of women to become very well established in their career because they put their childbearing life on hold. It’s not the only thing that has affect womanhood; it enhances their sexual freedom. The concept of hookup culture has been introduced. To me, it’s quite appalling to know how much The Pill influence it. Young teenage females are now basically “giving away” like it’s nothing due to being on birth control pill. I understand that most people are under the impression of birth control pills = more sex and no consequences. However, women should still respect their body and moral standard.

The main purpose of those apps are obviously to have people meet and develop intimate relationship or in a “degraded” term, hook-up for sexual satisfaction. Yes, it’s great that women could fully express their sexual freedom. In addition, if they “play” too much, it’s actually hurt their change on having a romance relationship. The websites and apps are basically like a buffet; people have much more options, which make it more complicated to find “The One”. People tend to select their sexual partner according to the looks and mundane bio. Therefore, it’s easier for sexual reasons, but it’s not for traditional relationship reasons. That’s how strong birth control pill changed within each generation from 1960’s to 2010’s. It’s quite scary knowing how much it have changed within 40 years in America all due to the birth control pill. I wonder what the dating would be like for future generations. This is a conflict paradigm approach because women do now have much greater choice and broaden their sexual freedom. However, it changes the idea of dating and relationships. It’s becoming quite
