Controversy! That's what happened when two articles came out last week and made the social media rounds, and we're here to un-controversy them for you. Helping me out this week is podcast virgin and improviser Annie Con, and returning tattoo champion Sonia Vaynerman.
The first article in question concerns the efficacy of pulling out vs. using condoms in preventing pregnancy, which as it turns out, are equally as effective in practice. This caused quite a social media poopie-storm when I posted this on Facebook, particularly because some people thought I was saying that pulling out prevents STIs.
Next up: RACE! This little think piece talks about why stating "No blacks" isn't a dating preference, it's racism. The article, however, goes on to assert that essentially having any preference or discernible pattern when it comes to the race of people you date basically makes you an awful, terrible racist.
Once again, we solve the internet.
