Both genders should be taught both sides of the situation
This isn’t to play down the experiences of women at all, but it can be easy to forget that this happens to men too
Given the current culture, it can be even harder for men to come forward with their stories, and even less likely for them to be believed
As a plus, I think making sure to teach boys what is and isn’t acceptable to happen to them could help to teach them how to treat others
I think that otherwise, if it’s “don’t rape” for boys, and “don’t let people rape you” for girls, then it’s almost like marking each gender out solely as potential abusers and potential victims, which surely couldn’t be a good thing
