Feminism: Why I'm campaigning for UK schools to teach boys and girls all about it

Article here. Excerpt:
'It was seen as normal that boys could tell me girls had evolved to have 'smaller brains than them' - so we should stay at home. Or not be a part of the football team.
When I started secondary school these issues became more apparent to me as I began to think properly about the things that were going on around me.
Now aged 14, this thought process led me to start a petition, “A In Equality”, because I think that feminism should be on the PSHE (personal, social, health and economic) curriculum in all schools. In order to achieve equality on every front, we need to start by educating the future generation on the rights that will affect every single person every single day.'
