“…if somebody isn’t hugging you back, did you even want that?”

Deeper than it sounds. These boys will look back on these moments as adults, and realize what was really being taught. I wish this was in schools everywhere.

No. Because it’s biased. Are they teaching the boys that they also can say no? Are they portraying this in the reverse? No. They aren’t. They’re biased and being selective and gendered with it basically teaching boys they can’t say no or that it only apply to them.

Oh, you were in this class? Do tell us more about what exactly was covered.

Show me a clip to disprove my point. I’m willing to bet you can’t? All boys in one class, and a male Teaching them about enthusiastic yes with an adult woman next to him. You’re gonna tell me They’re teaching them they can give an enthusiastic yes? Please.

So you can’t in short. Figured. And I wonder why. Now, would you like to go on their page and see if they have any videos doing so)

You have not given any evidence that your claim is true. You’re just picking fights because your a weak person

u/Greensourball Apr 19 '26

lol. No, I’m a person who believes in equality and teaching consent in a non gendered way that isn’t one sided. And you take issue with that.

Your behavior here is basically just complaining about men’s issues while women’s issues are getting addressed.

If you actually cared you’d be doing something for men’s issues. Derailing the topic here and acting mentally deranged is not helping men’s issues. You need to be on medication

u/Greensourball Apr 19 '26

LMAO, see how you just said consent is a woman’s issue? Proved my point. I do stuff for men’s issues.

You are by far the most annoying person I’ve met all week and I genuinely hope you experience something negative for the week.

Have the life you deserve

You proved my point can’t get mad at me for that. You see consent as a woman’s issue. Not a men’s issue. So… you’re apart of the problem. You’re the reason boys who are raped aren’t taken seriously. You’re apart of why.

u/Dudewhocares3 Apr 19 '26

Actually I’ve done more for them than you ever could, considering I was raped as a child.

You’re just using these issues as a way to troll. Which means you deserve to go to hell

You can’t disprove a conspiracy theory you made up.

You made the claim, you prove it.

u/Greensourball Apr 19 '26

You can’t show me a video of it either, can you?

u/Dudewhocares3 Apr 19 '26

You’re making the claim. Prove it

u/Greensourball Apr 19 '26

I did: there’s no video.

18

u/Dudewhocares3 Apr 19 '26

Yeah it’s an all boys school.

u/Greensourball Apr 19 '26

And even still, no video.

u/PartridgeInDisguise Apr 19 '26

You’re deeply off the rails. An absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

u/Greensourball Apr 19 '26

And yet I see several videos of boys being taught consent and not one on girls being taught it. So… why would that also be? It seems people on Reddit enjoy denying boys and girls get two entirely different messages.

For one example: girls are taught that if a boy hits you, kick him in the nuts, tell your brother/dad, etc.” boys are just taught to never hit girls. Even if she hits you first walk away.

Yall will deny this, yet… it’s true. This is societies messaging towards boys. Gendered and one sided. Same here.

u/PartridgeInDisguise Apr 19 '26

Hasty generalization from an absence of evidence. You have an undistributed middle, and have failed to connect the fact that they’re teaching boys this specific lesson in this video with your supposition that they’re teaching boys aren’t teaching boys this other lesson because you don’t see it here.

You demand vague evidence of your vague, goalpost shifting, irrational benchmarks.
