How does one “be fertile”? You either are, or you aren’t. I guess they’re saying they should just have lots of babies? Anyhow, gross, just like the other online grifts/psyops.

My guess is that it's anti-contraceptive garbage.

The pill = no babies = not fertile = not a real woman.

Yeah after I wrote that later on it sorta just popped up — oh this is probably just meaning “don’t take birth control”.

Double edged grift! Suffer by feeling you’re not being “womanly” enough no matter what you do, and only feel minorly deserving of praise once you’ve depleted yourself of all your own efforts and self esteem 🤡 that way you’re willing to buy whatever snake oil they’re selling.

It's big pharma propoganda pushing fertility drugs.

Ah yeah, forgot that angle. My partner was researching that recently, that shit is expensive (not to mention any unpleasant side effects you might have on it). I can’t imagine a plausible scenario where young, non-married women who aren’t already actively trying to get pregnant would just take that stuff though.
