Not Feeling Theoretical

I think "Theory Thursdays" sounds better anyway, don't you? Maybe I'll make it in two days.

Today while listening to some of the kids talk at the high school, I was again reminded of my pet cause. I think there ought to be a class about gender/sex issues. A required class that teaches students what they obviously aren't learning at home: that everyone deserves respect, no one deserves to be treated like an object. It's necessary to teach young women how to behave so they aren't being seen this way, and to let young men know what behavior is expected of them. I think there's just a total lack of anything that opposes what these people are seeing in the media that they take in every day. It should start in elementary school, considering that the average age of exposure to pornography in this country is 10 years old. That's just obscene to me. I'm going to see what I can do about all of this, if anything. I think that's all for me. My thoughts are running on about 12 cylinders, but the proccessing part is working quarter-time.
