As a mother of a three year old daughter, I want better for her. This is an interesting take, and very much needed discussion. I listened to a podcast where a female comedian said she’d choose to be stuck with a bear than a man in the jungle because she felt her vagina would be at risk with a man. That’s how wide ranging women’s experiences have been in their sexual experiences. I wish I had known how to navigate the spaces of first-time sex and advocating for myself as a young 20 yr old. Men are not the enemy, but we need to teach our children both boys and girls differently. I’m filling the gaps now so I can teach my daughter better. Thank you for this article.
Wonderful to see this happening. My sex ed was a biology lesson on reproduction in rabbits, with "and its the same in humans" tacked on as the teacher sprinted for the door. I got more from the Jaqueline Susanne on my parents' bookshelf!
Amazing article!
