What stereotype pisses you off most?

to be especially illuminating. As if black people are so utterly stupid that they don't understand that penis-in-vagina=babies. What horseshit.

At no point did I say that. Sex education is more than penis + vagina = baby.

Good sex ed is proper and safe use of birth control (ie: many people don't realise that hormonal birth control is not 100% effective, including very educated people - and it's certainly not effective from the first pill taken, or options that are available should the condom break (ie: morning after pill), or knowing that yes, you can get pregnant the first time you have sex (the amount of white, middle class kids that genuinely believe that is astounding), how to properly put on a condom, how to safely dispose of birth control, what to do if you've been sexually assaulted, the actual physics of HOW procreation occurs - in terms of fertilisation, embryo implantation, different stages of pregnancy and so on.

White kids aren't taught this in a lot of places, Christian kids aren't taught it. God forbid Muslim kids are taught it, there'd be hell to pay in many places.

Again, I'm not saying that no one is to blame for their personal actions. But there's a HUGE difference between knowingly, callously and deliberately taking action when you're an educated adult, and doing something when you're a kid who doesn't know any better because they've never had a role model or the education to offset the lack of a role model. One is inexcusable and the other is, if not inexcusable, at least understandable.
