Brauer College asks male students to "apologize" for their gender.

I think the school had good intentions, but that was a dumb move. Teaching the students about consent is good and should happen. The "stand up and apologize" segment serves no meaningful purpose though, and frames the kids as predators by nature.

Oh it served a meaningful purpose, making men appear evil, and women innocent and good.

How does the school have good intentions?

Good intentions is just Leftists way of making their racism and/or sexism not look as bad as it is.

This culture war stuff seems so Trump era. 🙂

Indeed.

I have some experience with how dysfunctional these places are, having been to college.

A friend of mine was raked over the coals by administrators. His crime? Being punched in the face and refusing to press charges.

See, the guy who hit him happened to be the son of a major illuminati. Big doner. When my friend got hit, called the police, and didn't press charges, they went full in blaming him for provoking it. Made him go to psychological evaluations, and when he complained they confronted him with little booklets of university "laws".

So he did some research, learned he can press charges any time he wants for a year or so, arranged a meeting, and with their little books on school laws informed them if they didn't drop the ultimatums and leave him alone to finish out his degree in peace, he planned to press charges.

Extortion, essentially. But it worked. They left him alone.

What a bunch of assholes.

Too many chiefs "men" not enough Indians "women"

It was well-intentioned, but they failed to stick the landing.

This is why you get push back. Because too many people really do believe unearned privilage equates to guilt. Sit down, shut up, listen, and don't argue is pretty awful for creating open dialogs.

But great for rallying the base.

Brauer College covers what would be 7th-12th grade in America. It would be a combination middle and high school here.

It was an assembly addressing sexual assault, harrassment, and consent. They wanted to educate the students on how to respect each other's personal boundaries. This is a good thing, and a worthwhile pursuit for schools. It's only how the assembly ended that caused the problem

It was well-intentioned, but they failed to stick the landing.

Sometimes, you should just listen though.

No, it's acknowledging a good motivation while also acknowledging flaws in execution. Again, having the assembly is fine. It's just the apologizing part that was dumb.

"College" has different meanings in Australia. These weren't college students as we understand them in America.

"Eggs actly. Why can't the one with the eggs use dem legs for once. Then you realize that of course that's the whole point! Your gender has the sea men, so of course life 🧬 is going to meaner on you, because you are your gender!"

This guy

I agree. Eggs are plotting against us tbh. People should be skeptical when their next omelette arrives.

That being said I don't disagree with this idea. Having young boys acknowledge that their gender may help them get a head and that they need to be a generation of change to me is not that bad of an idea.

But it only works if you give the children a well enough explained reason why they are performing the action itself. Without that they just get confused on why they are doing something.
