I don't think it is considered "old timey feelings" as a young girl who is told that she is going to bleed every month and how she needs to handle it. You may be comfortable with it--but most young girls need to be encouraged and helped through this. Sharing the room with boys is one more factor to make them uncomfortable.

It's old-timey to think that (a) this would be the first time she's hearing about it and (b) that it's anything to feel embarrassed about. Making it a taboo subject perpetuates the unnecessary uncomfortableness.

Separating the sexes for instruction does not mean it is "taboo." It is only common sense.

The PP has zero common sense and is just the usual left-wing troll who represents the extremist faction.

Wow. So if you don't want menstruation to be taboo subject then you're an extremist? Seems...extreme.

Separating the sexes for instruction does not make menstruation "taboo." It only gives the girls a space to ask questions about something that everyone else who hears the questions will be experiencing and will be interested in how it affects them.

Saying that girls need a “safe space” and would be “more comfortable” separated by gender tells them that it’s something that is an uncomfortable topic. And shouldn’t be discussed with boys.

It’s just biology. And pretty crappy that society continues to make it a taboo subject.

Why do YOU persist in making it a taboo the right of women to define for themselves what makes them uncomfortable?

FCPS students, staff, and parents (many of them women) vehemently opposed to mixing both sexes for lessons in human reproduction - that would include menstruation for girls and semen production for boys. Why do YOU have an issue with respecting women’s right to define what the boundaries are over their own bodies? That would include talking about their bodily functions in front of members of the opposite sex. You don’t get to define for them that right as a taboo.

Title IX was originally created to protect women rights against the travesty we are seeing today. It’s a shame that men have turned Title IX against women under this current administration, which has yielded to Lia Thomas walking around naked in the girls’ locker room, exposing his penis to girls who didn’t ask to see it, nor to whom they want to expose their undressed bodies to. That is exactly what FCPS wants to replicate in our schools - hence the desensitizing of our kids to their right to personal boundaries, and what you encourage with your persistence in disregarding girls’ rights to have discussions about their menstruation on their own space, without boys present.

I didn’t make these topics taboo. Society did.

And society will continue with status quo unless people teach their kids that these are normal, healthy bodily functions that aren’t shameful.

I’m sorry if you experienced personal trauma, but men are not the enemy. Our constructs are what hold women back.

Mixed classes will hold back important questions they may have. No 10-year old boy or girl (except the class clown) is going to ask a question about nocturnal omissions in front of 30 of their classmates.

It’s nocturnal emissions.

I guess PP didn’t sufficiently learn about that at home or at school. Ignorance begets ignorance.

Same ignorance that is behind FCPS motivation to indoctrinate our kids into believing that men can have periods and can get pregnant. Indoctrination begets ignorance and lies.

You mean like there are two sexes? I'm all for reinforcing that stereotype.
It is clear here who you are supporting.

What i the point of trans girls receiving detailed information on periods? Or, Trans boys receiving detailed information on erections. They are going to experience neither if they fully transition.

There are two sexes. Genders and all of the evolving stereotypes around them are a different story.

Everyone should all receive the same info. It’s normal, healthy biology that everyone would benefit by learning.

The purpose of this is to learn about their own bodies. The trans kids have likely already had a lot of instruction on what they are doing. Let them opt out if that is your concern. The basics are enough about the opposite sex, but girls need to learn lots of specifics about their own bodies and functions. They also need to learn how to handle it. Adult women spend a lot of time dealing with issues of periods, girls need to learn a lot more about periods than boys do. If you cannot understand that, then you are clueless.

Sure, everyone should receive all of this info, on both sexes. Taught in separate classes. This is common sense.

The only person claiming people want “menstruation to be a taboo subject” is you. Everyone else is agreeing that boys should learn all about it, just as girls should learn about boys’ anatomy, etc. And all of this can be accomplished in separate classrooms where both boys and girls will be comfortable enough to ask questions and have discussions. Quit trolling this thread with your garbage.
