Furthermore the analysis showed that oral contraceptive pills contribute to the normalization of the monogamous relationship and in making contraception womens’ responsability and at the same time making men irresponsible. Therefore contraception is associated with protection from unwanted pregnancies, which also acts heteronormative. It was also shown that women were left with an illusion of power, being responsible for using contraception but given little choice in the matter. (Less)
