That's pretty contrary to the typical diversity rationale that suggests out group people have valuable inputs. I think it makes a lot of sense to have society as a whole making decisions about how society as a whole operates. It's not just an individual's choice if they take a drug which may or may not end up being like thalidomide. At the very least it affects fathers, and those born with the side effects.

Of course women should have a voice in this area, but also should many other groups :)

It is my right to say: "I command you to dye yourself blue and dance for my amusement." And it's your right to tell me to fuck off.

Well yeah, the men who prevented it from being OTC for so long didn't do it out of skepticism that it was safe; just like every other time women's rights have been restricted, it's about control. Concern over medical safety is just a convenient political distraction to avoid having to defend regressive social policies. If the people who rules like these actually cared about women's health, they would take into consideration that some women need medication like this for issues that aren't related to trying to avoid pregnancy when having sex. Even labeling medication "birth control" is just a way to ignore the fact that sometimes there are conditions that affect the reproductive system without a woman becoming (or trying to become) pregnant, and sometimes these medications can help with those.
