Bart Simpson once said what is probably one of the greatest quotes of the 21st century – “I will use Google before asking dumb questions.” A quote that should probably be fixed at the legislative level in all countries – and then it will help to avoid many scandals and problems.

But so far, unfortunately, there are still many people who have access to social networks, but who, obviously, are banned for life on Google in order to clarify the meaning of a word in just a few clicks. By a strange coincidence, such people usually come up with homophobic, misogynistic or simply overly puritanical comments, embarrassing the entire Internet for ignorance of elementary things.

Want a fresh example? Voila! Here’s one from Reddit’s r/insanepeoplefacebook community, whose post gained nearly 13.3K upvotes and over 500 various comments. So, recently the official CNN Instagram account broke the news about Kylie DeFrance, a Texas high school teacher who had the noble idea of ​​creating a kind of “menstrual station” in her school where students could take tampons or pads during their periods.

Someone just mistakenly confused tampons with contraceptives and accused the teacher of promoting birth control among minors

Great initiative, isn’t it? Of course, but not for the aggressive commenter, who first illustrated the news with some clown emoji, and then explained what exactly they had in mind. It would be better if they hadn’t, of course, but nevertheless…

So, this person, apparently confusing tampons with contraceptives, was indignant that the teacher, instead of doing her direct duties of teaching children, was starting to promote birth control among minors.

When netizens tried to point out their mistake, the commenter reacted quite aggressively

Moreover, when they tried to explain to this outrageous commenter (yes, in approximately the same aggressive way) that they simply mixed up the terms, instead of thanking them for the clarification, they just attacked their opponent, calling them a groomer.

It remains to be hoped that all this is just an example of unsuccessful Internet trolling, and not to believe that at the beginning of the third decade of the 21st century, in one of the most developed countries in the world, people with such a puritanical way of thinking still remain.

People in the comments claimed that in the 21st century sanitary products have to be easily accessible to everyone

By the way, people also spoke about this in the comments to the post on Reddit, stating that in the modern era, issues related to women’s health and periods should not be scandalous, but something taken for granted. Well, these products, of course, just have to be easily accessible to everyone who needs it.

And, for sure, commenters are also surprised that today, when search engines are absolutely accessible, people continue to confuse tampons with contraceptives. However, as a topic starter on Reddit wittily replied, according to that aggressive Instagram commenter, a person who knows what a tampon is should obviously be placed on the FBI watchlist.

We’re sure you’ve got something to say about this too, so feel free to write your own comment or tell any similar story. After all, as we suppose, it is really worth commenting.

Ohhh, we are not all right. We are honestly headed towards A) a civil war B) a authoritarian dictatorship C) a theocracy D) all of the above. It is actually pretty f*****g scary. My husband and I have been getting all of our passports in order (we also have a 6 year old son), any documentation we think is important, I have applied for my EU passport ( I have duel citizenship with Greece) and trying to get gold and silver, on top of storing food, getting solar power, and making plans, backup plans, and backup plans for the backup plans so when shot hits the fan we can at least try to get out. Thanks for your concern though, it really does help,

As a kid, a teacher wouldn't let me take my purse to the bathroom and at first I was too ashamed to just grab a tampon out and go. About 5 months in I lost my sh*t and dumped out every pad and tampon I had on his desk. He was very surprised and asked me why I put contraceptive sponges on his desk and asked if I was trying to proposition him. Ugh. I had no idea what "sponges" were (this was in the 2000s too) but I did scream talk at him about how periods work until he shut up. Then I took my purse and went to the bathroom. Every time. Every month. And he shut the f*ck up. No one in class laughed either. They just ignored the whole thing. Like it was normal for a girl to have a period! The shame! Lol

No shame chick, not for you. You did well. Your act defended every female in your school that day. The shame is all his.

Texas is jealous of all the publicity that Florida gets, and is making a run at it.

I wish they shared a border so we could just cut them both off.
