I'M IN HIGH SCHOOL AND I AM TALKING FROM THAT PERSPECTIVE. I DO NOT KNOW HOW ADULTS INTERACT AND SORRY IF THIS ISN'T ORGANIZED

I think the segregation between girls and boys at a young age (especially during middle school) is one of the causes of a lot of sexism because it creates the belief that the opposite gender is this glamorised experience rather than a normal human being. Do you think we'd still have things like stereotypes and gender roles if girls and boys actually talked to each other rather than just hearing the echoes coming from this unknown and confusing group?

Not to mention, it would be much safer. If you look at super religious countries that have even implemented segregation in schools, they ALWAYS have crazy harassment rates. That's because they genuinely don't think the opposite gender is just another human being. All their ideas of the opposite gender come from directed and managed forms of media (movies, shows, porn, etc), and that the opposite gender is just for them and that they are entitled to them.

Our societies would also be way less annoying if we got rid of "heightism is worse than racism" dudes, "MY GIRL BETTER HAVE NO BODIES" incels, and " MY MAN GOTTA PAY FOR EVERYTHING" girls and misandry. And how do we do that? Have women and men interact normally so they can better realise these views are not realistic for the average person. The average teenage boy doesn't have the means to pay for everything, and a teenage girl is not gonna look like a fucking OF model.

In conclusion, WE SHOULD INCOURAGE PLOTONIC GIRL AND BOY INTERACTIONS.

I’m not even gonna lie the most important thing to me is my looks, I always wanted to be called pretty I don’t know if that is because I used to be ugly not long ago but beauty is all I want. I wanna have pretty privilege and stuff. And it’s not like I’m completely ugly I’ve had strangers come up to to tell me I’m pretty but I just don’t see like I genuinely don’t believe it. Especially how I look inverted like that is haunting me like people talk to me while I look like that. Every time I think I’m pretty I look at an inverted picture of me and I’m genuinely not a blessing to look at. I just wanna peel off my face and live with out it cuz it bothers me too much. I’m not smart I don’t have good grades I’m not funny I don’t think before I talk so I’m pretty awkward like just let me have this one thing. And I’m sure that I’m not that pretty cuz I’m 15 and no boy has asked me out or anything which I get it doesn’t matter and I don’t need men’s approval but like not even the old ugly men want me. I’m too obsessed with looks and neeed to do something I just wanna be ok with looking avarage.
