We were never separated out back in the 80s. [/quote]

Same here...and I was embarrassed to ask a question about period blood in front of other girls, there would be no way I'd have the courage to ask (or even write it down)  a TMI question in front of boys.[/quote]

But they can at least teach basics. Overall this is going to make people a *lot* more knowledgeable. [/quote]

Can't they teach the "basics" in separated genders? That way, specific questions and details pertaining to gender can be discussed.[/quote]

[b]Separating genders normalizes the idea that these things are private and shameful.[/b] And when we separated genders in school, boys and girls classes taught content mostly geared toward their own gender. This is how you get men not understanding exactly what a tampon does, where the clitoris is, etc. That happens a lot, even if the school supposedly has the dame curriculum.

Why do you want the separated, aside from embarrassment to ask questions?[/quote]

DP. While not shameful, they certainly are private. Separating normalizes that we have different parts, and thus different specific concerns. [/quote]
