    What are you talking about, boys will absolutely ogle girls, and sometimes other boys. They’re teenagers! The thing is, it doesn’t matter how prudish you try to be, they’ll still do it. If they can see some ankle they’ll fap to it later. The best outcome is if they’re ogling someone too much and making that person uncomfortable, take them aside and privately tell them to knock that shit off. You don’t need a bloody no looking rule that makes them feel sinful just for having a peek at someone clothed. You also wouldn’t need a no touching rule if you just fluffing taught them consent at 10yo, around when you should be starting sex ed as well anyway.

      I feel like we can teach consent in preschool; it applies to way more than sexual interaction, and would hopefully help kids identify when they’re being abused.

        Yeah honestly, you’re right, we should be teaching bodily autonomy once kids are old enough to dress themselves (physically, idc if they want to wear the hero or princess outfit every day, let them! let ‘boys’ wear princess outfits too!!).
