Something occurred to me here. This is... original, anyways; in fact,
it's one of the few original things about this fic.
However, it doesn't make any sense, when you think about it.
The active ingredient of The Pill is progesterone, which is most
definately a female hormone. Moreover, The Pill works by hot-wiring
the woman's reproductive system into thinking that it's already
pregnant.
Seems an odd way of 'conquering womanhood', if you ask me.
(BTW, The Pill is made from the urine of pregnant horses, just in case
anyone really wanted to know. :)
