That's sexual discrimination! You shouldn't be denied medication based on your gender! It's 2018, and we should all be treated equally! Go back in there, and demand your right to access medicine! Or I could be serious, and ask what kind of college-age boy doesn't know that only women have a cervix?

Boys might not have a cervix, but they can carry the virus that causes cervical cancer. If they were immunised too, this might help reduce the incidence in unimmunised women.
