For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.
No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.
Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.
Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.
Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.

If you start teaching them about sex when they are engaging in sexual activities you’re clearly to late.
Kids aged 10 will understand what sex but haven’t yet participated in it. In that sense it’s the perfect age to start education. Kids that know what sex is will be much likely to be able to set their own boundaries.
The headline about teaching 10-year-olds how to use Grindr is clearly someone making clickbait and not giving a sh*t about representing the actuality.
At 10 all kids need to know is that genitals are used for sex and they shouldn't be doing it with anyone
Not much more details are necessary
They also need to know about the changes their body is going to go through in puberty, the emotions and urges they will develop and how to healthily deal with them, basic hygiene and use of deodorant, what sexual assault is and how to report it since many kids are sexually abused.
girls get their periods before 10 years old. personally, started masturbating around that age myself.
This is just not true. Kids absolutely need accurate sex education BEFORE they are ready to engage in any sexual activity. It's important for kids to have accurate names for body parts and sex itself for all sorts of reasons. Comprehensive sex ed results in REDUCED rates of sexual activity.
Bottom line: you don't wait until kids might be sexually active to provide sex ed. You provide it long before that point and, in doing so, can actually DELAY the start of sexual activity.
