comment
- while that may mark the first time a technology has radically reshaped human physiology in such a direct way,
- the spirit of transhumanism is inherent in our nature as innovating cognitive beings
- in fact, I find the term "transhuman" self-contradictory and problematic
- as our very nature as innovative beings means we are constantly reinventing and transcending our old behaviors

I've often heard the phrase, usually in historical settings, "little book" as well and presupposed it to be a diminutive describing the ideas. I appreciate that Dan Allosso points out here that the phrase may describe the book itself and that the fact that it's small means that it can be more easily carried and concealed.
There's also something much more heartwarming about a book as a concealed weapon (from an intellectual perspective) than a gun or knife.

Unplanned pregnancies are a significant problem in the United States. According to a 2012 Brookings Institution report, more than 90 percent of abortions occur due to unintended pregnancy.
This is crucial to realize the importance of this statistic. Up to 90 percent of abortions that occur could be prevented, if we could help lower unintended pregnancies. After doing a lot of research I found that the, about 90 percent of abortions are unintended statistic, is quite accurate and average across America.

In 2007, the pharmaceutical company Bayer gave up on a male contraceptive “that involved an annual implant and a quarterly injection,” as my colleague Olga Khazan reported in 2015. The company, she wrote, “concluded that men would consider the regimen—in the words of a spokesperson—‘not as convenient as a woman taking a pill once a day.’”

College enrollment has historically been higher among women who have access to the pill, and “birth control has been estimated to account for more than 30 percent of the increase in the proportion of women in skilled careers from 1970 to 1990,” the report reads.
But how has their academic performance been [negatively] impacted by bad side effects?

he might have mood swings.
Greater aggression? --> more frequent violence toward women?

most men wanted to continue using the injectable birth control—more than 80 percent of them said they would choose to use it.*
THIS IS MADDENING

“It was believed women would tolerate side effects better than men, who demanded a better quality of life,”
THIS IS SO INCREDIBLY FUCKED UP.
