A father has aborted his daughter because she is having a period, and the internet is very angry
Sometimes all it takes for a little unity in the world is one idiot we can all hate together - like this junky dad who requires his daughter to clean the house to "pay" him for the sanitary pads he buys her

Only the daughter does chores, and the son does not.

The year now is 2021 - it is important for us to start with this fact, because later in the article we will describe things that will illustrate that at least when it comes to certain people's attitudes towards menstruation and menstruation, there are those who are still deeply stuck in the Middle Ages.
One of them is a single father to a teenager and adolescent, and his story managed to greatly upset the network (and us as well).
The beginning of the story is in a thread in the community: AITA (acronym for: Am I The Asshole) on the Reddit site where the father wondered if it was so awful that he required his 15-year-old daughter to do cleaning chores at home, to "reimburse him" for the "expenses" The excess "he has on her, because she has to buy sanitary pads every month.
And so the father wrote (without shame and without confusion):

To the full article
"I lost my wife 10 years ago. It's just me (50) and my two children: N. (17 years old) and A. (15 years old). Recently, there was an unpleasant quarrel in the family when some of our relatives learned that I require my daughter to perform cleaning chores at home. , While my son is not required to participate in chores at all.I explained that this is because I need to spend more money on my daughter every month, both on classes and leisure activities and on the supply of her hygiene products, and this is my way of getting her back to me.It cleans the common areas In the house and the toilets and is also responsible for cooking 4 meals a week.
"That you stop being a spoiled brat, or that I stop paying for bandages for her."

My brother claims I spend twice as much on my son's classes and by that logic, he too should do chores.
I explained to him that in my opinion he should not do chores, because these classes and activities are things that can help him get accepted to college, while my daughter's activities are more like hobbies, in my eyes. "The
father added and wrote that:" A. heard the conversation and was very offended.
She began refusing to perform the tasks on the grounds that it was unfair.
I told her she still had to do her chores and that life was unfair, so that she would stop being a spoiled brat otherwise I would stop paying for her classes or bandages.
I did not really mean to do that, but I said it because I was angry.
She packed her things and left the house.

She is currently with my sister, who called me an "abusive idiot" when I asked her to send the girl back home.
My brother and sister pamper her and I'm boiling.
My son also said that I was behaving disgustingly towards his sister and that was why she left.
And I'm just totally fed up with the whole story.
Am I the idiot here?
PS - My son plays football and baseball and my daughter is a member of a choir and a dance troupe.
So yeah, I think my son is more likely to get a college scholarship.
I'm not a sexist and I do not like to be called that.
"And to all the commenters who write to me in private that they hope someone will report me well - I'm not doing anything forbidden, so it's just silly to say that."
The surfers claimed that the father was actually imposing "pink taxation" on his daughter.

The surfers on the site simply went crazy with rage. One of them equated, and rightly so, between the father's policy towards his daughter and the so-called "pink tax" - a phenomenon that refers to the high pricing of products intended for women, and hygiene products in particular, and their perception as "luxury" products. This or that of her life.
Other surfers have noted that there is nothing wrong with watching and requiring children to contribute their share of housekeeping and day-to-day chores, but that the fact that he discriminates between his son and daughter because she gets menstruation - which is completely out of her control, makes him unequivocally an idiot. Good translator).
Quite a few of the commenters in the thread also wrote to him that his late wife would surely be ashamed and terrified had he known how he behaved to their daughter.
And in general, almost all the reactions were very decisive against him.
It is difficult to find issues that cause such unity on social networks, which are usually divided and polarized.
And lo and behold, it turns out that all it takes is one Asshole against which the entire network can unite.
Heart warmer.
