What a load of carp, they'll be making sewing lessons compulsory next.

You mean like in the Scouts? Boy Scouts have always been expected to sew their own badges on.

Challenge gender stereotyping? All in favour of equal opps but does it never occur to these people that some of this stereotyping is nature's and not man's?

In the later years at school when sport wasn't considered that important, we had mixed sports and so we could also do netball and hockey (aren't girls violent?) and they did football with us. No mixed changing rooms sadly...

Hockey is very violent.....

...a friend lost all four of his front teeth in one mixed hockey match I can remember - 5th year boys vs lower 6th girls...

I bet he was running around bent over in a crouch because he was nursing a semi.

We had mixed hockey and football with the girls at my school as well (Netball and Cricket weren't though), and yes the girls were violent. I ended up with a couple of busted fingers and a friend lost all four of his front teeth in one mixed hockey match I can remember - 5th year boys vs lower 6th girls...

They must also ensure more girls study traditionally masculine subjects such as science

Oh my god, when will the madness end?!!!!

Schools have been told to encourage boys to play netball and take dance lessons in the name of equality.

We did dance at junior school (35 years ago). It was called something else: "expression and motion"? We also did volleyball & basketball. What's the difference?

At secondary school the girls beat the daffodils at us boys at hockey. We couldn't convince them to play rugby though. At least, not enough to make up a team!

They must also ensure more girls study traditionally masculine subjects such as science,

The journalist the wrote that needs a good kicking for creating a view that doesn't need to exist. Marie Curie, anyone?

while increasing numbers of boys take options such as drama or dance.

Note: "options". Not "compulsions".

There's no news here.

Buckinghamshire county council asks schools to ensure they challenge gender stereotyping.

It’s gratifying to see progress is being made into realising this worthy effort and that the position we kids recognised at school is vindicated after all, specifically with regard to mixed gender showers and changing rooms. In fact some thought of little else than challenging the status quo in this respect and of finding the means to put theory into practise at the earliest opportunity. These guys were obviously ahead of their time, and not a bunch of pervs after all. How little were they to know that the combination of hot showers, naked women and testosterone would, rather than challenge gender stereotyping, make the gender stereotypes all the more apparent.
