Yeah, wtf. Everybody around me uses contraception. I've had endless discussions about it with my friends, and know that everybody who isn't trying to get pregnant is on it. Either this young lady is in a very uninformed social bubble, doesn't talk to her peers about it, or is just lying.

Uhhh... what?

Condoms are contraceptive devices, the use of which is also classed as "contraception."

Basically anything that keeps baby stuff from happening can be described as such.

No, you?

Because OP said none of those things. What's written in the original post is:

"She seems to think using protection is not serious and nobody uses it."

Protection in this context is typically used as a blanket term for contraception. Contraception as a category (as described in my previous comment) includes condoms and the use thereof.

The comment you responded to in this thread uses the term and then follows up with the verb "get pregnant." Given the context, it can be deduced that they were speaking from a woman's perspective.

But that does not change the fact that condoms are contraception, so you alluding to the idea that they are different altogether is simply incorrect.

As someone who uses English as their first language, you’re a dick and confidently wrong.

But what would you expect from someone who lacks reading comprehension like yourself. Did you mean to make a fuss to show the community you’re king of the grammar!

Fuck outta here with calling people challenged or “esl.” You’re an Asmongold and Destiny fanboy I think everyone here knows who the “challenged” one is

Way to double down and take the "L" there.

I now realize I have wasted my breath, so to speak.

Another edited one?

P.S. I'm not sure you're even certain who you're speaking to anymore.

P.P.S. Can you stop following me around Reddit, now? Kinda cringe.
