Unscientific birth control
It seems as though women throughout history have always had the “pleasure” of enduring some of the most unpleasant conditions, circumstances, and situations known to man. It is apparent that the colonial era wasn’t quite a walk in the park for them either.
From using body odor as a defense mechanism against men, to inserting crocodile dung as a contraceptive, it sounds more like a hard-knock life. Another unscientific contraceptive features a Canadian tea brewed from the genitals of male beavers. The science behind this concoction is unknown, but the thought alone is nauseating.
