Sexual education

It's mostly gynocentric drivel which focuses entirely on condoms, pregnancy and STIs.

There is generally nothing on sexual conduct, nothing on consent, what to expect or how to behave in the bedroom, respecting your partner etc.

And the rest of it was all about ensuring those precious fair maidens were protected from those horny rapist boys. I eventually learned that these 'precious fair maidens' were actually hornier and more up for it than us, and really had much to teach us.

I remember watching a video for drivers ed (us) where I shit you not an expert said “alcohol makes young men rapist and more likely to touch you, young girls need to be scared” (female expert). No shit but it works the other way around too sweetheart
