It's both. The artificial hormones in birth control changes perception of potential mates, and increases the perceived value of effeminate men (if we're being super charitable, the Orlando Bloom types). Then, after decades of birth control, once married they'll stop the pill in order to want to have children, and voila, they'll lose attraction to their husband. Ruined marriage commences in 3...2...1...
There's also well-documented research on in-group trust assessment perceptions as a function of ovulation and hormone levels. Which is to say, women on the pill are more likely to be waving a We Love Refugees sign, whereas women who are not: less so.
The internet being what it is, we all try to take what we read with a grain of salt, but after a while, once you've seen the same thing referenced over and over, and then you see the studies and journals, and you realize, processed food was probably a pretty colossal mistake.
Ironically, a lot of granola-crunch lefties actually agree with us on some of these fundamentals: grow, buy, and eat local; multinational corporations making food don't give a shit about that food (or by extension, their customers). If only we could make them see that the next step after taking responsibility for their nutrition is taking responsibility for their own broader well-being, and they'd be on the track to, if not conservatism, at least libertarianism. And since the libertarian movement is dead on its feet at the moment, maybe they could reinvigorate it as an alternative to the DNC.
Of course, none of that is going to happen (Orange man is bad, you see) but I can daydream...

Hormones are insanely powerful, I have given away houses to attest to that....
