It is what the cartoon child is perceiving as a man telling her he uses ‘the ones with wings’. Therefore many children may believe that it a given that everyone has periods and not even question it, why would they if they need that education in the first place? That scene isn’t ‘educational’, it’s totally misleading.

A lot of children are very inquisitive so are likely to ask why is that man giving advice and then an adult would be able to explain. I would consider that a positive to moving forward in society.

Whether you understand it at the time doesn't really matter as you will eventually learn these things and of they're that worried then they are likely to ask.

I hate this whole cancel culture and level of political correctness. The world has gone mad. I suppose the simple solution is that, as a parent, if you're not happy with your child watching it then you don't let them. I think it's ridiculous myself
