You might be surprised at how much supression of this information there is, how much fear and/or punishment tactics actually work.

Couple that with many people still having a family computer and not necessarily allowing children to have their own devices or monitoring/controlling everything they do on them, with religious homeschooling, book banning and abstenance only sex ed and you can have your answer about why some people still don't know.

Firstly, you’re totally correct. My 2nd sentence, that I should have been more clear on, was more directed at people in general.

You mean why most people in general don't know? Yeah I took it as such.

I apologise if I came off rudely though.

People in general and things in general.

You didn’t come off rude or anything.
