Most schools (particularly in conservative areas) don’t teach it because of controversy and religious beliefs

I went to a Catholic private school and was lucky enough to take AP Psych where it was touched on briefly along with queer identities! unfortunately we had a big scandal because our RELIGION TEACHERS asked students for pronouns on an intro paper and literally said they didn’t have to fill that part out, then dumbass parents called the school and got them in trouble. I love that school but still hate lots of Catholics…

Yes! But it was strange. I went to a Mennonite school, a group not known for its work on the matter lol. But we were taught especially in history how skewed accounts can be due to women not being credited properly. That stuck out the most to me.

In higher education in one of my sociological gender studies courses I learned it, but we didn’t dare speak of it in grade school.

Most people were taught about women suffrage movement, like women’s rights to vote etc. but not sexism or misogyny at a general level

What does that mean to you and then I can make a comment. I’d rather not assume

That’s a misuse of that term. I’m just wondering what that would ideally look like to the OP

Probably teaching sexism from a sociological perspective. Not just teaching about history of sexism but teaching about how it’s still intertwined in our culture and institutions
