Jezebel, a women-focused website that launched in 2007 and became an avant-garde and often transgressive element of feminist Internet culture, has removed more than 100 articles from its website with spicy words in the headlines. A review of the site by the Washington Post found “404 error” messages – indicating that a page could not be found – in place of articles, some of which were many years old, that had used sexually explicit and sometimes vulgar words in the headlines.
