    Dude, did anyone else notice that the article said condoms, used correctly and consistently, have a 17 percent failure rate?! I do not think that is true.

    @Skellatrix: I don't know how I do it, but I have a shockingly large number of condoms break. I assume I'm not getting my 98% efficacy as a result. Thank God for asking about STDs and hormonal BC, or I would be screwed. [not in the fun way]

    @Skellatrix: A lot of people use condoms that are too big or small, and a lot of guys I've been with don't know that you need to pinch the tip while rolling it down.

    Weren't most of the posts from the pull out article from married/seriously coupled women who used some form of the rhythm method?

    They're going to have to answer to the Coca-Cola Company for this.


    Once again, the tradition medial FAILS at its' only strengths - reporting and fact-checking - and loses credibility to the attentive (if occasionally troll-like) snark of its' Internet contemporaries.

    We should start doing one faux post a day with the sole aim of getting quoted by lame alleged newspeople.

    Naturally they cite the tongue-in-cheek comments and completely ignore the pages and pages of thoughtful, well-researched, and insightful comments about withdrawal. I read most of them and was left with the impression that the vast majority of Jez commenters were for withdrawal as long as it was done properly. And every single one of us was pretty informed and careful about birth control in general.

    @EsmereldaFitzmonster: I've got a hunch that's what happens with any source of quotes-- they print the ones that serve their purpose and ignore the ones that don't. No media is 100% accurate, and all have a bias that they filter their news through.

    So we've now definitively established that no-one, no journalists, no news organizations, no faux-feminists actually, IN ACTUALITY, read this site properly. Not one of them. Despite the fact that they are finding it increasingly quotable and useful for traffic.


    Can we all agree on this? This is a fact, yes?

    @inabook: Hmm, I beg to differ. "Pot Psychology" is a "popular column"; the phrase suggests something that appears with regularity and is regularly embraced. One post does not a "column" make.

    @Anna: I think its an issue of semantics. I would make more sense, obviously, if it were referring to a regular column, but I can see them using it as short hand for "A one-time column that got a lot of page views and comments and attention on the internet" even if that description would be more accurate. I don't think they were as clear as they should be, but I do think there is maybe a little overreaction in the comments here.

    Since when do I read a column called 'Slutty Feminists'? Hell, since when is there anything we could call a 'column' on Jezebel besides Fine Lines? Is Pot Psychology a column?


    Either way, congrats on the shout-outs, people, even if it is absolutely ridiculous that they're quoting random Jez commenters without any idea of who they are or where they come from!!

    Not even getting into the various inaccuracies and/or demonstrations that people writing about this site haven't actually frequented it, does anyone have any idea why Jezebel has suddenly, in the past few weeks, become a punching bag for the mainstream media? I mean, why NOW?

    @Princess Leela: I guess I don't see that it's a punching bag; instead I think it's being used as a sort of zeitgeist reference source.


    I still think (as did a number of other commenters) that yesterday's Scientific American reference wasn't bashing Jezebel, but instead was saying that mean girls must be a problem given how often the issue is discussed or is written about on Jezebel (versus go to Jezebel to see how mean women get).


    And in this case, the ABC article wasn't snarking on Jezebel, and instead was lazily using it to demonstrate the general public's reactions to the new study on the withdrawal method, versus going out into the public and talking in person to live people.

    @Princess Leela: Jezebel is an easy mark: it's seen as full of lots of mid-20s female commenters, who are a powerful demographic and marketing group. It's also always fun to subtly slut-shame those wacky feminists, and we refuse to apologize for a) enjoying sex or b) being feminists.
