I believe that co-education has been a protection for boys in that female eyes would see through the layers of secrecy and exhortations to “take it like a man” and nail abuse for what it is, thus the existence of matrices and protocols in those places which purport to be civilised but still permit CP to take place.
I agree. There are numerous examples of discrimination against men that are only now being challenged. Even now, when I mention some of them, including those which men are complaining about and issuing legal proceedings against, I’m told I’m expressing a “typical woman’s view” and that men don’t want these rights. I wonder why so many men are claiming them, then?
I am also astonished at the extent to which non-consensual underage sodomy was seen as an acceptable cost for a boy to have to pay to achieve a “privileged” education, hopefully that is also a thing of the past.
