The following is a critique of the article titled: Sex Ed That Turns Boys into Men The article begins by saying:

Every Thursday at Georges P. Vanier Junior High School, a dozen adolescent boys assemble in an unused classroom. They gather around a large table, doing their best to ignore the girl power posters and sparkles that cover the walls. After all, they’re there to talk about what it means to be a man.

What a way to incorporate set and setting for a foray into the masculine isn’t it? After all what better way to foster a better understanding of men, boys and masculinity than to sit them in a classroom decorated with girl power posters? Where are the boy power posters? Aaah yes thats right, boys don’t need a constant deluge of self esteem infusions to feel good about themselves, all thats really required for them to flourish is a lack of having to see silly girlpower posters everywhere they go, as well as not telling them their masculinity is a toxic disease, that would suffice. They could then be left to their own devices and granted they’re not drugged into catatonia for the crime of fidgeting in class, they would flourish all on their own.

Middle school health classes usually have a segment on sex education, which for most adults conjures awkward memories of studying the female anatomy and putting a condom on a banana. Wiseguyz, a nonprofit based in Calgary, Alberta, is working to broaden what “sex ed” can teach youth — specifically, boys between the ages of 13 and 15. Their participants instead talk about weighty issues like masculinity and the hyper-sexualized portrayal of women in media.

So, the first red flag becomes apparent, Calgary Alberta, a feminist cesspool. These boys are “learning” about masculinity behind enemy lines. They learn, also in a classroom about masculinitiy and men, about the “hyper-sexualized portrayel of women in media” how nice.

When these teens first gathered in October 2014, there was a lot of nervous laughter. Comments and questions were sometimes couched in bravado or sarcasm. Program creator Blake Spence used the first few weeks, as he does each year, for the boys to get to know each other and, in his words, “create a safe space.” Before long, the giggling gave way to critical discussion.

“We laugh with each other and we’re always joking around about stuff,” said Will, a current participant. “But when things need to be serious, they’re serious. We have a little rule: What happens in WiseGuyz stays in WiseGuyz — so whatever happens in there, we always have to keep it to ourselves.”

The illusion of a safe space is created, they correctly allow for the boys to get their bluster and bravado out of the way, and assure them confidentiality, and then:

WiseGuyz is built on four modules, which take from October to May to complete. Instead of focusing only on the physical basics of sex, participants talk about human rights, sexual health, gender, and healthy relationships. Within those broad topics is plenty of conversation around pornography, consent, homophobia, sexual violence, and emotional abuse.

WiseGuyz is part of a nascent trend toward programs that go beyond physiology to often overlooked issues, like how to have a healthy relationship and how culture shapes our ideas around sex. It was developed five years ago, when staff at the Calgary Sexual Health Centre noticed that the rate of teen pregnancies was going down but sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among teen boys was rising. Boys, research revealed, were more likely to engage in high-risk behavior and less likely to protect themselves.

How much would you wager that when they talk of “gender and healthy relationships” I’ts mostly about how “pornography is the patriarchy”, consent is what men are incapable of respecting, homophobia is the scourge of the heterosexual male, and sexual violence is something that only men are capable of? While the desire to educate young boys on the risks of sti’s are commendable, replacing it with a feminist propaganda template is despicable.

The center enlisted Blake Spence to create a program for boys to address this. Spence was already the Centre’s Community Education Coordinator and he’d also worked there in its peer education program. But perhaps most importantly, he’d been a 14-year-old boy — confused, eager for information, and wishing he’d had a mentor-type program. Spence embraced a broad goal: Encourage boys to consider everything they’ve been taught about what it means to be a man, deconstruct it, and then think about how to become a good one.

Deconstruct their vision of manhood? that it? it sounds to me like after this “deconstruction” the goal is to instill a healthy dose of “man up” platitudes, likely consisting of a mix of feminist indoctrination with a bit of traditional conservative, “a man must provide” nonsense designed to ensure their disposability.

Each 90-minute session at WiseGuyz opens with what Spence calls “check-in,” which is a chance for the boys to talk about themselves and what’s going on. Check-in, said Spence, “can take a long time. Some of them really take advantage of that time to talk about some of the issues or the struggles they’re having.”

The safe space that Spence cultivates is crucial to the program’s success. Haberland offered the following criteria for productive sessions: “Answering difficult questions, making sure your classroom is a safe space for LGTBQ teens so that they don’t feel harassed or bullied, and ensuring that the curriculum feels relevant to their needs.”

In saying this, I do not mean to offend people based on their sexual orientation, but why is it that whenever male masculinity is portrayed as vulnerable, it is almost universally in the context of anything but heterosexual male vulnerability?

Heterosexual – Male- Vulnerability-

Mull that around a bit, the words seem almost oxymoronic and paradoxical, not because it isn’t a valid concept, but because our gynocentric society has a vested interest in not allowing it to materialize, sanctioning it only in aspects of our culture that fall within feminist spectres of control. Yes, I know many masculine gay, non gynocentric men, that would agree with me on this, that the wider LGBTQ movement, is strongly influenced by feminism. It speaks to the hidden Homophobia within the feminist movement, feminist accusations of “homophobia” are weapons, wielded with the express purpose of demonizing heterosexual masculinity, and in this case, depriving it from the full range of human emotions.

“Answering difficult questions, making sure your classroom is a safe space for LGTBQ teens so that they don’t feel harassed or bullied, and ensuring that the curriculum feels relevant to their needs.”

What measures are in place to ensure that heterosexual boys aren’t harassed?, do they not feel bullied at times? or are we to believe the feminist narrative that a magical patriarchal higgs-field pervades all human interaction stopping heterosexual boys from being bullied and conferring onto them that good old fashioned privelige we keep hearing about? Again this is not to be confused with having a hatred or phobia towards LGTBQ youth, but an observation of how heterosexual masculinity seems to be pigeonholed into feminist sanctioned areas if it ever seeks to enjoy a modicum of vulnerability.

The article continues with talk of respect for diversity, and other social justice catch phrases, but frankly I cannot stomach a further take down of it. Read the rest for yourselves. All I know is that it’s high time that the manosphere start reaching out to boys in hopes of providing a counter to feminist indoctrination of young men and boys.
