Take the pill & choose a loser! Insert witty sarcasm here!

Posted by Kassandra Posted on: 08/13/08

Take the pill & choose a loser! Insert witty sarcasm here!

Evidently, according to MSNBC.com, research studies have proven that women who ingest birth control pills are MORE LIKELY to pick bad lifemates.  Wow.  So not only do women have to hear things like: you will pick a man who will be like your father - and if he's an alcoholic druggie you're screwed! - now "studies" have proven when we seek to defend our bodies and not get pregnant we are still choosing crappy males.  AWESOME!

The article explains the evolutionary tactics for this wonderful finding.  The pill masks or changes a women's odor finding preference.  Subconsciously, women can smell out genetic deficiencies in males making them appear less attractive to pass our chromosomes to.  When women take the pill they are in a false pregnancy and thus, "When women are pregnant there's no selection pressure, evolutionarily speaking, for having a preference for genetically dissimilar odors," Roberts said. "And if there is any pressure at all it would be towards relatives, who would be more genetically similar, because the relatives would help those individuals rear the baby."

Does anyone at all think all this towards women is very biased?  Why does it always come back to the women?  I understand partially it is because women have control over bringing life into the world.  But why not this: perhaps men are substantially weaker nowadays than before.  Maybe the selection process just well ... sucks!  

Yeah!

Anyways, that's my beef for today.  

Here's the link for the article.  Comments are mucho appreciated.

  • Random Thought. Putting the studies aside, if women didn't take the pill would they protect themselves to a greater degree by being more selective about who they choose to sleep with? Do you think it would become a trend where we, as a society, would turn more to the pre-sexual revolution days and bring back courting? I'm know that sounds like old fashioned romanticism, but thats just me.

  • I dunno who that is above me but thats what i thought of instantly before the whole subconscience smelling shit popped up.

    and of course the selection process is in your hands more, we both know that if decent looking guy stood on the corner with a large sign that said "Will have sex for free" he will probably not attract any girls, more likely a dude will be the first customer. Take a decent girl with the same sign and she'll be gone in 5 minutes or less. Why? Because every dude pretty much IS carrying that sign around already! We are like stores, we take most customers, you are the buyers, you chose what to buy! THATS JUST HOW IT IS! (not completely, i have exaggerated of course but in general this is somewhat true and you know it)
