Perhaps I should have factored in how inexpert the Australian sex ed classes are.
That said, I still find problems with the logic of "this has been discussed," as though the mere fact of discussion means that it has been discussed sufficiently.
It's still very popular opinion that women need to protect themselves, as if we don't already do that. People also tend to talk about the kinds of rape where there are "preventative measures" more than those that do not have any obvious measures. They talk about not being drunk at night on the street. But people rarely talk about stepfathers raping their stepchildren or boyfriends who rape their girlfriends and similar types of situations. Some people don't even know these things happen as often as they do. Nobody talks about how to reduce the amount of rapist in our communities. I'm not saying that these other things aren't important but there's a huge area that is not discussed that is affecting many many people.
