Even when I was a pagan feminist (40+ years ago) I refused to put any substance in my body that I wouldn't want in my compost pile.

Nowadays "eco-feminists" who won't use plastic baby bottles because of minute amounts of BPS's, see no problem with 100,000,000 cycles of birth control pills being flushed into the water systems every month. Now there's an endocrine disruptor they really like.

Sorry. I think that was supposed to be 10,000,000 cycles.

I wonder how many of them are the same people who go hysterical at hormones fed to cattle . . .

Another oddity -- I've read that municipal water supplies overall don't test for drug contamination, though some are starting to check for the common heart and cholesterold drugs.

Random thought -- would this have anything to do with the rise of the metrosexual? ;-)

And we routinely poison our water with flouride. That can't be filtered out either.
