It’s frustrating that, seemingly for no reason other than to perpetuate gender stereotypes that help no one, we fail to engage young men in this conversation or hold them responsible for the decisions they make in their sexual journey.

Why, when young boys are often at the core of such troubling issues as sexual assault, unwanted pregnancy, STI transmission, hey even homophobic bullying, are so many of us quick to burden young girls with the responsibility for their actions AS WELL as the actions of the boys in their lives? If anything we should be engaging boys more and more!
