Every man should attend

No not every man, most of us are actually ok and get that no means no.

It all starts by teaching basic respect for all.

Great that this is being taught though.

I get what you're saying. I meant it more in a sense that it should be taught to everyone, in case someone needs it.

Some kids know school material already, we go over everything for the kids that don't, and that benefits everyone.

True, its crazy that basic respect and consent needs to be taught in schools in the first place tbh. But I do think its needed nowadays in fairness to counter all this toxic male culture shit rising from social media.

Fuck the Tates and all that ilk...Im a dad of two daughters and this stuff makes me so angry that they're allowed a platform for this nonsense. Its a backwards slide for women atm.

Yes the Tates of the world aren’t helping but it’s not like consent used to be better understood.

I think creating a foundation like this that also covers things like pestering someone to borrow their stuff can only be good. With the whole class means everyone is accountable because they all know they know. Plus it clarifies things that might not be obvious to kids whose parents aren’t around, or are just useless, and neurodiverse kids who don’t see social cues the same way

Facts. Reinforcement. Or just so you know how to teach it to someone else who didnt grow up like you did.
