Boys can still learn about girl stuff without girls being present.  Just like girls can learn about boys without them being there.  I remember being middle school and I would not want middle school boys sitting next to me when they talked about periods.[/quote]

Separating out the kids by gender just reinforces the idea that girls need to be embarrassed about menstruation.

It’s 2022. It’s ok for boys to know that girls will get their periods. It’s ok for girls to know that boys get erections.

They’re all normal bodily functions. Nothing to be embarrassed about.

They’re not embarrassed because they get their cycle or erection. They’re embarrassed because they are 9-12 years old and don’t have have the maturity and experience to handle the feelings (and awkwardness) that accompany puberty…everything is embarrassing at this age. Why add to it? [/quote]
