I remember when I was 11 and in Primary Seven (which works out at Sixth Grade if your American) when our teacher took the class through to the screening room to watch yet another sex education video. By this point, even as a bunch of 11-year-olds, we were all pretty jaded by this constant sex-ed stuff and rolled our eyes at having to suffer yet more (this continued all they way to late-High School BTW, which we all found quite odd).
The video in question that day (and many days after that) was Feeling Yes, Feeling No; a Canadian Stage play acted out in front of kids younger than us on what to do if an adult sexually harasses you. Just say (or shout) NO was the answer. It had the sophistication of a 16-mm interstitial on Seasame Street. I remember it vividly to this day. And I remember being very offended by it, along with a lot of the other boys in my class.
The reason for this is that every scenario acted out is a man taking advantage of or abusing a girl. I mean, does it never happen the other way around? Will a woman never abuse a boy? This aspect was stupidly left out and made the series entirely one-sided and just plain wrong.
Honestly. After watching all these us guys felt guilty for no reason. We had done nothing wrong but were made to feel like sexual predators all because of this stupid series. We were all quite downcast for a few days and repeatedly voiced our anger at the teacher who typically ignored us. Even the girls treated us differently, saying stuff like 'You're all rapists.' Which is just plain wrong no matter what way you look at it.
This series of 'educational' films is wrong and hopelessly sexist. I am sure something this old is not shown in schools anymore and I pray that something more PC (and trust me, I HATE PC) is part of sex-ed now.
Oh, and what a god-awful 'theme' song too. I don't think I'll ever get it out of my head. Like the Macarena or Agadoo.
