Std, sexual abuse and prostitution: heterosexuality is an assumption that runs through school materials and practices, material shows hegemonic masculinity primarily and emphasized femininity, gendered constructions intersect with race (they are white), class (middle class) and sexuality (heterosexual) Poor boys discourse to achieve equality in schools, attention must be turned toward boys as they are in distress, losing their identity in crisis, etc: the poor boys discourse is more like a critique of feminism. Webber reading november 29: when sexuality is addressed in schools it is done so within heteronormative ways.
