And boys don't have to get it. Which is why I don't think it should be shoved down parents' throats.

That's probably because boys can't get cervical cancer.

But they can get penile cancer from certain strains of HPV, IIRC. And they can certainly spread HPV.

But they carry the virus. And if they're sexual profligates, will give it out liberally to every girl they shag. Trust me, it's only a matter of time before Nanny Perry mandates this for boys as well.

And boys don't care if they give their partner a potentially fatal virus; the continuing spread of AIDS demonstrates that.

But the vaccine is against a virus that causes cervical cancer and boys can catch and spread it, too. That's the point. They're discriminating against the girls because they're the ones who get the cancer but since everyone is susceptible to the virus, it should be used on everyone.

Isn't this vaccine for HPV?
Boys do get HPV.
