Its a sign of the circles I move in that I immediately wondered if feminism was at the root of this biology failure.

Before realising that being 12 & coming from a religiously conservative family was more likely. She now knows boys don't have a cervix.

except the CDC says boys need it too; https://www.cdc.gov/features/hpvvaccineboys/index.html …

That's not what was funny...

Oh, not denying the humour. This is a case where the child's friend is right for the wrong reason.

Essential for girls, as they pay the highest price for missing it, but vaccinating boys has benefits as well. https://www.cdc.gov/hpv/parents/vaccine.html …

OK, but that wasn't what was funny...

Yeah. Probably I am being too pedantic
or specific. Fair point in any event ! -
A load of ppl rushed to tell me boys can get HPV too.

HPV? It's for males, too. It may prevent genital warts, anal cancer, and the spread of HPV to their partners.
-
It also helps prevent oral cancer transmitted thru oral sex.

OK but what was funny was her not knowing boys don't have a cervix & me suspecting a feminist agenda briefly

But thank you for the info!

Wouldn't that actually be kind of a good idea if boys/men can be carriers of the virus?
-
That wasn't what was funny! She didn't know what a cervix is & it made me suspect feminism. Now 100 ppl are telling me boys can get HPV.

Too be fair, it's an HPV vaccine, not directly a cancer vaccine. And immunizing males will decrease rates of HPV in their female partners.
-
That wasn't the source of confusion tho.
