    The child's friend just complained it was unfair that the school isn't giving the boys the cervical cancer vaccine.

        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.

        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 …

        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

        Wouldn't that actually be kind of a good idea if boys/men can be carriers of the virus?

        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.
