I'd argue sex with compromised protection is unprotected ;)
but yeah, taking plan b does not mean you are irresponsible, it's pretty much the opposite.
So, if a woman cannot use birth control pills nor have a temporary sterilization, and therefore the only usable contraceptive is a condom, her sex life is always unprotected?
Condoms can break if there is a long hair in a spot where it manages to cut the condom's head off. You can learn to check for that, but many people learn that through, well, trial and error.
Whaaaaat?
Seriously. If you wear a working condom, it's protected. If you then find out it broke, you learn it actually turned into unprotected sex somewhere in the process.
This isn't rocket science.
It isn't rocket science, but it sometimes the condom having broken gets noticed only when the woman feels something liquid-ish inside her that should not be there. I wouldn't stigmatize inexperienced people as having had unprotected sex if they have done all they can with the knowledge they have to protect themselves.
But that IS unprotected. Not anyone's fault, but still.
I do see the point about stigmatization
