    Just got this email from the Student Union. Frankly, any woman daft enough to forget to take her pill deserves the consequences. Is this BS service actually costing the SU (and hence, us) any money? Why does our generation insist on delegating responsibility to the extent where we need a text message to remind us to do daily, routine things? Why oh why does the SU think this is a good idea? Do they just sit around all day vainly trying to come up with ways of justifying their pointless institution? Honestly, such a waste of time and energy.


    Rant over.

    Exactly. Free shewees would help the genderly disadvantaged more than texts to remind them to take their pills.

    Should the SU even be pushing oral contraceptives? Given the nature of young people and their whoring ways surely condoms should be the main focus?

    How about sending a text to remind you to put on a condom? Just text them when you're about to have sex, and get an instant response with step by step instructions...

    They could just use a mass web text and it would be free

    Maybe that's what it is? So far there hasn't been any substantial evidence in this thread that it's actually costing the SU (or anyone else) any money. Although I'm not quite sure how a mass web text would work. For the service to be effective I imagine it would need to have some sort of function where you could tell it what time you want the reminder at.

    The mass text could be funny, like if it coincided with the middle of a lecture or something.

    It is a student business start up that the Students Union is helping to promote.
