  I live in a conservative area and do not trust folks to educate him from those angles.

    Angles? What does this mean?

      The typical conservative has a black-and-white view of sex and gender norms. “A man provides for his household and a women cares for the children”–type of thing, with very unhealthy views on sex, sexuality, and gendered expectations.

      Hell, I was told that it was my “purpose” to one day marry, have children, and dote on my husband’s every whim, and that, as a woman, it should be my desire.

      It’s not healthy, and I’m not going to teach that kind of thing to my kid.

      I’m gonna guess abstinence only etc.

      From the “conservative” point of view.

      They’re generally not big on healthy sex education or relationships.
