wait, you think a book called "sex education" is about women's rights?

No, learn nuance.

Sex education is a part of womens rights. A fairly big one, too. Someone who appoints themselves as enough of an authority on feminism to be telling feminists what they should do and how they should speak should have made that connection.

Sex education is a part of womens rights

Now you're just making up reasons to disagree, my question was whether it was about women's rights or not. The fact that you reformulated it first before disagreeing demonstrates that you know the answer is "no".

So you are totally incapable of nuance. Explains a bit.

Come back when you can explain why a book about sex education is not a part of womens rights. Also interesting that you seem to think a book about sex education would only be about intercourse, and not the processes of puberty differences for each sex.

You're still not actually disagreeing with what I said. A book called sex education isn't about women's rights. Putting words in my mouth is manipulation, not nuance.

I’m disagreeing because you’re acting like sex education would not ever explain that there are two sexes with differences between them, and only uses sex to mean intercourse.

My point in the initial comment was more about how you have elected yourself as the person to tell feminists what language to use and how you are wrong to do that.

Sex organs would certainly come up. The book still wouldn't be about women's rights though. Do a search in this book: https://pdf.zlibcdn.com/dtoken/ffc8e7bf368f98dd4e7734703363e6bf/Sex_Education_and_Sexual_Health_Teaching_Knowledg_16819560_(z-lib.org).pdf for "sexes" or "male sex" or "female sex". Do a search for "sex" & see if any of the instances are referring to the sexes, instead of intercourse

...you have elected yourself...

I think if anyone is doing that, it's OP.

Op didn’t literally say ‘feminists should…’ and then carry on like a pork chop because feminists didn’t agree with them.

Can you like, go be wrong and melodramatic at someone else now please. Seriously you are behaving exactly like masks who you have berated for the same behaviour.

She is saying English-speaking feminists should. There are feminists who agree with me & others who don't. It's called diversity of opinion.

I've berated everyone for being unable to provide evidence to support their claims. I gave you link to a kids' book on sex education, demonstrating the lack of the word sex to mean what most here insist it means (a collective term for males & females). Not that I expect you to recognise evidence when you're shown it. Got a counter example? Thought not.
