[quote=Anonymous]These aren't "secret" topics that shouldn't be discussed openly.

A lot of good points here.

[i]"“When we divide young people by gender, the implication there is that we’re somehow giving them different messages,” says Nicole Cushman, the executive director of Answer, a sex education program at Rutgers University. [b]“We kind of reinforce this cultural taboo about the subject, and we reinforce the idea that sex is not something to be discussed in ‘mixed company.’[/b]

“There’s definitely consensus in the field that it is a best practice, or that it is preferable, to speak to all genders at the same time.”"

"In the world-famous[b] Dutch model of K-12 comprehensive sexuality education, which teaches egalitarian social norms at every age in one of the most gender-equal societies on the globe[/b], in rare cases of religious objections, girls and boys may be separated for portions of their lessons."

"[b]By teaching students of all genders alongside one another about healthy sexuality and relationships, including consent, we hand them a set of social expectations to hold in common.[/b] The more students are aware of what their peers have been taught about how to treat others, the more they can hold one another accountable."

"[b]Clarifying and normalizing the changes of puberty [/b]can give girls [b]empathy[/b] for a wayward erection and empower boys to compassionately offer a sweatshirt to tie over a period stain." [/i]
