the PragerU kids stuff that Florida is bringing into schools - 1960s gender roles videos

ugh... very different lessons for the genders. I can see Dennis Prager spouting this crap. how was this stuff vetted? this isn't too much different from the 1950s/1960s instructional films kids were shown when I was in elementary/Jr high in the 1970s.

basically... women - be agreeable, dress modestly and nicely, don't be too independent. men - be independent, think for yourself

how to embrace your feminity

smile, be positive, don't be mean, don't express opposing view points strongly
dress nicely but..
dont expose parts of your body that invite the wrong kind of attention
handle confrontation with grace
stay classy and graceful
dont be afraid to allow men to help you
you dont have to pretend to be this fierce independent woman
be grateful when I man goes out of the way to show you respect




How to embrace your masculinity

Be become financially and mentally independent
use your own brain and judgement
be strong (save damsel in distress)
be courageous
be a gentlemen
pay for girls meals

It's like watching Fox News. Totally one-sided, mocking the other side, while pretending to be even-handed.

I can't believe Florida is bringing this one sided trash into their schools.

They'll probably resurrect the 60s videos on homosexuality too.

Not a bad set if refined - if it wasn't so crazily gender-specific in the videos

So everyone should:

smile, be positive, don't be mean, don't express opposing view points strongly - respect other's point of view
dress nicely
handle confrontation with grace
stay classy and graceful
dont be afraid to look for help
you dont have to pretend to be this fierce independent person. No one is purely independent
be grateful when people go out of the way to show you respect
Be become financially and mentally independent
use your own brain and judgement
be strong
be courageous
