Relying on schools for quality sex education doesn’t cut it, unfortunately.
Sex ed in the U.S. hasn’t traditionally been the most inclusive — or accurate. Only 24 states and D.C. require sex education, according to the Guttmacher Institute, a research organization focused on reproductive health and rights.

The actress told a room of Hollywood men with the power to deny her the role that she would not play a character who’s introduced to the audience on her knees. More unusual still, the men unequivocally agreed with her, promising to change the oversight.
“Now whether these men all of a sudden saw it from her point of view and realized it was an undignified way to introduce the character — or they thought, ‘Urgh, we’re in the middle of #MeToo.
