HOLLY GRIGG-SPALL: I was on the Pill for 10 years, and on Yasmin for two and a half years. You'll want to read on if you're one of the millions popping the Pill. We taked to her about its effects, the underlying forces keeping us on it, and the ways we can change our birth control patterns. Grigg-Spall makes a compelling case for a cultural gender bias, encouraged by the pharmaceutical industry, keeping us hooked on the Pill. So why do we pop the Pill so easily?Īccording to Holly Grigg-Spall, author of Sweetening the Pill, there are many forces pushing us away from direct barrier methods (condoms, diaphragms, etc.) toward completely body-transforming hormonal methods. And the Pill doesn’t only have long-term effects: Half of all women on hormonal birth control experience negative mood changes. Yet according to the World Health Organization, hormonal contraceptives are a class one carcinogen, ranking alongside tobacco and asbestos. For many of us, taking hormonal birth control (which tends to get shortened to the ubiquitous ‘the Pill’) starts in our teenage years with an unsuspecting visit to the doctor’s office. Do you take a pill every day despite being completely healthy? If the answer is yes, you may be one of the millions of women who are on hormonal birth control. ![]()

When you read this book you’ll hear Swanson’s voice- Offerman bears a lot of personality resemblance to his Parks and Rec character. His pyramid of greatness held a prominent position at my desk when I worked. If Chris Pratt or Aubrey Plaza ever write a book, I might need to avoid it because both Nick Offerman’s and Amy Poehler’s ( Yes, Please) books were disappointing! This book is Nick Offerman sitting atop his high horse, thesaurus in hand, shouting ‘NUANCE’ and ranting about straight white males, racism, money, Republicans, climate change, Covid, and mass-produced beef in between his frequent use of swear words and Aldo Leopold references and infrequent recountings of national parks. ![]() The deer and the antelope took a backseat to Offerman’s pretentious politics that were salivating to get their chance to roam on the range.
