Syntocinon: an old word for control of women and death for babies

OXYTOCIN. Women’s love drug. The drug associated with her sexual pleasure, with bringing on her labour and bringing down her breast milk.

Too good for women, really. Let’s manufacture it. There you have it, boys: Syntocinon. Our very own made-up woman’s love drug.

Now we have the drug instead of her, we can control birth. We can make her give birth when and where we like. We can make her do it to a time-table.
