• Gender Binary: The phrase "For Boys and Girls" implies a strict, binary separation. Boys and girls were usually taught in separate rooms, or the video was split into distinct "Boy" and "Girl" chapters, ignoring intersex individuals and reinforcing rigid gender norms.
• Lack of LGBTQ+ Representation: In 1991, virtually all mainstream school-sanctioned sexual education was strictly heterosexual. Same-sex attraction was almost never mentioned, or if it was, it was only in the context of HIV/AIDS risk.
• Consent: The modern concept of "enthusiastic consent" did not exist in 1991 sex ed. Boundaries were usually discussed in terms of "just say no" to peer pressure, rather than teaching ongoing communication.
• Pleasure: Female sexual pleasure or the clitoris was rarely, if ever, mentioned in mainstream 1991 puberty education. The focus was purely on reproduction and anatomy.
