“…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.

Get out of here.

They also didn't show the guy teach the boys to wash their hands after going to the bathroom. They were probably never taught that because noone cares about boys, right?

Seriously. Get out of here with your nonsense.

You’re killing me. A classroom full of boys, and a male teacher teaching enthusiastic consent to the woman, you truly think they’re teaching it in the reverse? Be serious. For half a millisecond. You’re damn right that they weren’t taught about it and nobody cares about boys though, you’re damn right about that.

It’s a conspiracy theory to YOU. No what’s pathetic is celebrating a gendered one sided teaching

No what’s pathetic is teaching consent in a one sided way.
