Prudence is a virtue because without the virtue of prudence, you fall for crazy hoaxes that only sound plausible in the context of your insanity.
Three British girls from Berkshire have fallen for a 4chan hoax after “free-bleeding” outside of Parliament on Friday to protest the so-called “tampon tax.”
22-year-old Charlie Edge and two friends wore white trousers, held signs of protest, and displayed visible blood stains on their crotches while free-bleeding after spending three hours protesting that female hygiene products are subject to VAT. The “tampon tax” has drawn the ire of feminists.
What Edge and her fellow mischief-makers probably don’t know, however, is that “free-bleeding” is a hoax cooked up by users of image board 4chan in early 2014 to convince batty feminists that feminine hygiene products were a form of patriarchal oppression.
