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.

I don't see how it's homophobic to be against sex education at 10 years old.
Doesn't it look a little young to you? Are you expecting a 10 yo child to engage in sexual activities?
Women hit puberty a lot sooner than men. My parents didn't tell me anything about periods or puberty because they were religious and didn't want to talk about it. Luckily, my school gave me sex ed the year of my first period while I was still in elementary school at age 10, so I wasn't freaked out when I had my period and knew I needed a pad. Girls have been getting their periods even more early than that nowadays. Sex ed isn't about just having sex or what sex is, it's about your body and how it is developing. Then once I hit high school I was given more in depth sex ed about how to be safe, types of birth control, the menstrual cycle (which was already covered in elementary school but a good refresher), and other health topics like mental health.
I agree about teaching the ins and outs of each anatomy - like periods for girls and erections for boys. Could also teach them about pleasure - what are orgasms and how it works in the body.
But i don't think its the right age to teach how to give each other orgasms
I think young children, probably 8-10, should be told the full ins and outs of how sex works mechanically. This will help them learn to identify what someone is doing to them if they're being abused, and why they're doing it.
Even if kids know everything about sex, they don't really have sex drives yet and aren't really going to chase after that. I think the benefits far outweigh the risks since.
