  • Hi friends, happy Thursday!
    Welcome to the Dark History podcast. Today, we are going to talk about a racist creation, a drug invented to control populations, which devastated the fertility of an entire nation. That drug? Birth Control.
    Tune in next week for more dark history.
    You can find the Dark History podcast on Apple, Spotify, wherever you listen to your podcasts, and every Thursday here on my CZcams for the visual side of things.

    Also, i think its important to talk about how man should be responsible for getting someone pregnant too. A man birth control its been delayed for decades, even when it could be safer and easier (no hormonal).
    If the fight its for equality, woman shouldn’t be the only ones responsible for avoiding pregnancy.

    • @vikinggoddess2126
      @vikinggoddess2126 Před 3 lety +43

      It doesn't just effect moods. It literally effects the brain. Besides tricking the body into thinking it pregnant, so that it doesn't get pregnant, it messes with how your brain works. Say a teenager gets pregnant. The way they think changes. If you've ever known someone who was pregnant and their personality changed while they were, that's the hormones. Inducing that chemically to teen girls, who are already learning to navigate their hormonal changes and the emotions that brings, tricking their body into thinking it's pregnant is worse. Put a teen on birth control that they end up taking for years or decades and their brain is a pregnant teenager for that time and doesn't mature the way it's supposed to. So many many women are walking around with teen pregnancy brain and don't even realize it. And women, because I'm not sure about men, but women's brains aren't fully mature until age 25.

Think about the size of those paintings and understand that many hands were involved.
      Many shows on You Tube are scripted; it is much harder than you might think to speak on a topic for even 20 minutes extemporaneously. Even as a very well educated and literate person I can attest to that - nerves for a start!
      Bailey Sarian has come from nowhere and has built up a following which she is now using to highlight issues which are dear to her heart and she is now a very successful You Tube personality who attracts sponsorship deals and designs and sells her own merchandise. She has collaborated with cosmetic firms in promoting her own range of nail polish and other sponsorship deals.
      I am a much older lady and am very impressed with this young woman's drive and style - there are plenty of other more polished media personalities but personally I find the corporate bottle blondes on tv quite boring.
      Most tv companies are still run by male executives, which is possibly why you won't see a frank discussion of contraception or any other issues exclusively affecting women on tv.
      Women never seem to support other women.

    I'm a desendant / family member of some of the women in the trial. I've also done some research on the topic. Some extra information: (1) the trial continued after the pill was released because they couldn't get the dosages correct. They're was very little oversight on the program, which in it of itself is terrifying, understand these women were US citizens and were supposed to be under the care of the FDA. There is some evidence that suggests that they used double the dosages deemed safe for human trials because of racist beliefs that women of color could handle more medication or that our bodies were genetically different (this is also true of the understanding of women's body's in general & we still have issues with dosages today). (2) Puerto Rican women died during the trial most likely caused by the pill (these were otherwise healthy young women), because most of these women were extremely poor it was common practice to bury their bodies in communal burial plots (essentially unmarked graves, my father told me stories of seeing that type of burial & it is horrifying), exhumimg their bodies after burial would be nearly impossible and getting an autopsy was unheard of in these communities. This was by design by the people running the trials. (3) because Puerto Rico is a commonwealth we don't have control over all of our politics (some were/ are appointed by the US) even those elected tend to have connections & it is common for corruption on the local level. At the time the US military was testing military weapons in the island and it was common practice for companies to test products on the island and it's people. Not to mention huge tax incentives & minimal oversight. No one was looking out for the befit of the local population and we are still dealing with the 'fallout'.
