Not to mention there are classically sexist stereotypes still being taught such as "never hit a lady", "ladies first" etc.
Keep in mind I'm not suggesting it's okay to hit ANYONE, but my small nephew was pushed down by a girl and when he got up and pushed her back, he was the one who got punished. That's a pretty shitty message. I made damn sure his teacher knew it too.
