The organisers of an educational program which teaches school children 'men are the greatest threat to women' have received a barrage of hate mail.

Privately run Frame Initiatives travels between about 30 Western Australian schools to teach children about respectful relationships.

Last week, a Perth student set off outrage when he took a picture of a slide with the words 'globally and historically, men are the greatest threat to women' and posted it online, The Australian reported.

The slide was part of the Men of Respect workshop for boys in Years 7 to 9.

Critics have accused Frame of teaching superficial and biased content, and appears to have led the organisers to delete its Twitter account.

Director Dan McGrechan said the words were taken out context and was referencing US comedian Louie C.K.

The controversial statement was intended to 'stimulate discussion', he told Daily Mail Australia.

'This quote was used as a discussion starter, with students encouraged to reflect on the ways that this might and might not be true.

'The sharing of this slide has led to a number of false claims being made about Frame. The main claim is that Frame exists to "demonise boys" according to some agenda. These claims are unfounded and untrue. The slide forming the basis of these claims has been taken out of context completely.'

Mr McGrechan said the programs are 'factual and based on current research findings'.

'It is not driven in any way by any philosophy or belief about gender or sexuality or anything else.'

He said Frame has received positive feedback from schools.

A spokesperson for the WA Education Department told Daily Mail Australia school principals decide whether to use the program.

'The Department has requirements for external groups who work in schools. This includes Working with Children checks and complying with the school’s duty of care for students,' the spokesperson said.

The programs for girls include Please Like Me and Back Off: Sexual Harassment. Other programs for boys, aside from the Men of Respect workshop in question, include Problems with Porn, Sexual Harassment, and Date Rape and Consent.
