| Subject: Does outdated sex education actually perpetuate rape culture? - Valid question, but the feminist then injects 'egalitarian' nonsense again Fri Jul 11, 2014 11:51 pm | |
| There’s been a lot of discussion of rape culture and how it permeates so much of our every day lives. You just have to look at the tweets under the hashtag #everydaysexism, rape jokes, or the acceptance of R.Kelly back into the fold despite numerous accusations of rape to see it. Often the conversation about the prevalence of rape culture today leads back to what can be done to reverse it, and the answer seems blindingly obvious – education.
Specifically, how about teaching men not to rape, rather than women to safeguard against it? Yeah, let’s try that.
But is learning about anti-rape culture happening within sex education aka the place most teens begin to talk about relationships? Short answer: no.
I’ll admit, personally, my own sex education was a very Catholic one. In my first encounter with sex ed at an all-girl Catholic secondary school, each of my classmates and I received a gold broach of either hands or feet to the scale of 12-week-old foetuses. But the trouble is, even when you head outside of the diocese, sex education isn’t that much better.
