"I saw a post about ending tampon tax and I was so annoyed I had to have my say.

"People are saying tampons shouldn't be taxed because they are a necessity but why can't those women just learn to control their bladders?

"If they are going to bleed then they should wait until they get to the toilet. It's all about self-control."

Quite easily if you never actually educate boys on anatomy other than their own.

Had a 21 yo man inform me that actually, not all women have clits and it could be a myth. Not g spot, no. The clitoris. It's not shocking to me at all considering the things men around me, and the men in the lives of women i know, have come out with.

I was explaining to my DH about my mooncup and he asked "do you take it out when you wee?" And he has watched me give birth!

There was a thread not long ago on here where people didn't realise the wee was from a different hole

The lad's a wind up merchant. He's pulled similar stunts before. He likes the attention.

I'm with you OP
I thought ot was a joke, a bizarre one, but now I think it's true and I just don't understand that level of stupid.

Did you read the interview with the boy in the student paper?

He is very obviously (looking for a better word than thick, slow, not all there etc, apologies). I feel a bit sorry for him that its all blown up like this really. I'm not sure that he'd have fully understood even with a very good education.

But...I had a friend at that age - v intelligent, lovely guy, but thought periods were a little spurt of blood once a month, over in a few seconds. He had never been told, he was 😱😱

Essex boy - needs to learn to exercise his brain and control his mouth. Still got to be a wind up hasn't it?

Yes because if he was from any other county, he would be right? Hmm

Oh my, if that's for real I could cry. How can sex education be so sodding useless, what the hell are schools teaching?

Lorelei76 · 22/10/2016 01:02

Yes, what are schools teaching?!

Rum, how can anyone with half a brain think that all those sanitary products are sold for a tiny spurt of blood?!

Meh, don't give him the air time folks, or he'll be on Celebrity Big Brother next year.

You'd be surprised what people dont know
