"Every year I teach dozens of students at the University of Birmingham. Most of the students on the gender and sexuality courses are women. I guess this is because the boys don't think that gender applies to them: that it's a subject for girls"

- Louise Brown

About this Quote

In this quote, Louise Brown, an instructor at the University of Birmingham, is reviewing her experience teaching gender and sexuality courses. She notes that the majority of her students are ladies, and she believes this is because lots of young boys do not see the importance of studying gender. Brown suggests that boys might see gender as a subject that only applies to girls, and for that reason do not see the worth in learning about it. This quote highlights the social standards and expectations that often cause an absence of interest or understanding in gender and sexuality amongst male trainees.
