Despite boys being behind girls in school, at more or less every stage, the only ‘boys education’ we seem to advocate for, are the lessons for them to not become sexual predators. And I get it. My issue is not that these lessons aren’t needed, they are, in fact, in many ways, they don’t go far enough. They don’t go far enough, because they fail to see the other side of the problem, and tend to wholesale ignore the unseen perpetrators of abuse, violence, and coercion… who are girls. Yes. I said it. Demands to ‘educate your sons’ have offered useful, if not hard-to-hear lessons to our boys. And now it’s time to teach them to our girls too. So, educate your sons… Educate your daughters… And most of all, educate yourselves… What do you think? ~ My new Ask Me (Us) Anything with Lisa Britton is out now!  Youth Endowment Fund Data
