Our thanks to Nigel for this. He writes:
And here it goes. Under the Government’s new relationships, health and sex education (RHSE) guidance, children starting in primary school will be encouraged to build skills that allow them to “express and understand boundaries, handle disappointment and pay attention to the needs and preferences of oneself and others.”
We know it won’t be girls who’ll have to handle disappointment or pay attention to the needs of others. And “the significance of power” shows the paradigm will be feminist, with boys the “oppressors”. So in fact more of the same. The irony of this is by casting boys as all powerful oppressors and toxic the lessons will successfully make them think no one is remotely interested in their struggles with growing up and they’d be better “never showing emotion and that the world, including women, is against them.”
