    A proposed bill in Maryland would require the state to include consent in sex ed classes.https://n.pr/2NPKNTV

        Yes, and parents need to have the same discussion with their kids.

        I started teaching consent as soon as they could talk. No means no. Always, and instantly. Even for innocent hugs or tickles. Grandparents and others needed training too. "Stop it. He said no tickles. You need to respect his choice about his body". Grownups are hard to train

        I would argue pretty strongly that any sex ed class not covering consent is severely lacking.

        Consent is THE most fundamental element of any type of sexual interaction. And because they are swimming upstream against Hollywood and patriarchal culture, schools need to spend some real time conveying this to kids.

        Is the argument that people wouldn't rape other people if they knew rape was wrong? ...because that's not how rape works. The repeated argument is rape is about power dynamics. They know what they're doing and doing it for power. Education doesn't fix that

        No , the idea is that we stop teaching boys that it is their right as a boy to assault someone and it's just a rite of passage. And stop teaching our girls that it's their fault because of their clothes, or any other bullshit reason they use to justify it.

        You cite where "rape as a rite of passage" is taught in any sex Ed classroom and your point is made. Otherwise, it's a nonsense statement.

        We saw quite well in a Sebate hearing that many young men aren’t taught that consent is required. I don’t even know why you’re arguing about this. How could anyone have a problem with teaching consent? Mind-boggling.

        I'm sorry but you're circumventing my question and being purposely hyperbolic. I'm sorry you can't hold a reasonable discussion.

        It’s reasonable - and important - to include discussions of consent in sex ed. You have yet to make an argument about why one shouldn’t.

        You see what I mean? I asked you a question and you keep circumventing the point because you don't have a real answer for me. I'm not answering your question until I'm given my answer. You choose whether the discussion ends here, not me.

        You didn't ask a question tho. You just spit some nonsense about how it's not important to teach consent. You are the problem.

        These types of classes are needed in private single sex schools. Particularly catholic schools like the one I attended where sex ed was more about abstinence and telling us as girls we have to set the example for boys.

        Consent and body autonomy need to be the very FIRST thing taught in sex ed.

        The fact it needs to be re-taught when pertaining to sex is so sad. Also, get it on the curriculum immediately if it’s not already.
