The ContraIndex quantifies net benefits = returns – labor. Results for 22 contraceptive methods show large variation: 🔹 Fertility monitor (+47) 🔹 Pill (+25) 🔹 Hormonal IUD (+8) 🔻 Hormone implant (–11) 🔻 Morning-after pill (–24) [Scale: –100 = max. labor, 100 = max. returns]

Nora Müller (she/her) @nrmllr.bsky.social · 07/07/2025
Which contraceptive methods involve most labor vs. greatest returns? High-return methods (like hormonal IUDs) often require more labor, while low-labor ones (like withdrawal) yield fewer benefits. 🟣 Pill, IUD, and sterilization = high cost 🟢 Condoms = more balanced 📈 Read ➡️ doi.org/10.31235/osf...

🚨 New preprint out We propose the ContraIndex, a novel tool to measure contraceptive labor and returns. Why does it matter? Bc both partners benefit from contraception - but women bear the cost: from choosing methods to managing side effects. 📊 Read ➡️ doi.org/10.31235/osf... @kfirl.bsky.social

Meine persönlich Ansicht dazu ist, dass eher das Gegenteil eines Aufgebens vom Feminismus der Fall ist. Frauen akzeptieren keine Verhütungsmittel mehr, die mit starken gesundheitlichen Risiken für sie einhergehen, ihren Zyklus und oftmals auch ihre Libido ausschalten/einschränken.
