2024.11.27 The Board of Education explained that it aims to “eliminate the stereotype that men are strong and women are weak.” Junior high school physical education classes will be mixed for gender equality… The family of a female student who broke her leg after being kicked by a boy during a soccer class is raising questions online. What on earth happened? We spoke to the poster, tzou (@tzou12317), who is the older sister of the injured girl and a mother of two, for more details. “My mom just told me my sister is on crutches and I wondered what happened and it turns out she broke her leg when a boy kicked her during soccer class… Apparently, at my sister’s middle school, they do mixed PE classes for the benefit of both sides, such as gender equality… What, are you stupid? Stop dragging kids into weird social experiments…” A post about the injury her middle school sister sustained during a gym class on the 22nd of this month has become a hot topic, garnering over 23,000 reposts and 170,000 likes. In a subsequent post, tzou wrote, “It’s not that it’s bad for guys not to use force. “There aren’t many girls who can control their strength while playing sports, so isn’t it abuse of female students to have boys and girls play contact sports together?” “According to my mother, the kick hit her critically in the calf, and because of the body collision, she was sent flying and rolled, with her arms and legs covered in scrapes…If it’s just girls, it doesn’t get this bad in PE class…” she wrote, questioning the nature of mixed-gender classes. Tzou then called the city’s Board of Education to inquire. The person in charge explained, “The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology has stipulated that physical education classes, including contact sports, must be taught by both boys and girls in accordance with the curriculum guidelines, and if they deviate from that, the city will provide guidance, so we cannot make them stop at the school.” “We have told them to teach the boys to avoid injury, and we teach the boys how to control their strength through classes.” “Our aim is to use physical education to dispel the stereotype that men are strong and women are weak, in order to build a society where men and women can coexist.” “When I got in contact with my mother who lives at home, I was told that my younger sister had been injured. “I feel angry at the coach who decided it was okay for boys and girls to play soccer together, and it seems my mother wasn’t told that even contact sports were mixed, so I decided to post this to raise awareness and bring the issue to light,” tzou said. The series of posts included comments such as, “It’s too dangerous for boys and girls to play sports together that involve physical contact,” and “This is just a time to exclude women.” Many people have expressed sympathy, saying things like, “Girls have no choice but to step back to protect themselves,” “Even as a guy, I feel uncomfortable with mixed gender sports so I wish they’d stop it,” and “No educator in their right mind would think of mixing boys and girls in contact sports.” Regarding the reaction to her post, tzou said, “I received a lot of feedback from people who, like my sister, were in mixed-gender PE classes, saying that they hated it too, that they got blown away when playing with boys, that they had to go easy on girls so they couldn’t show their true potential and it was boring, and that it was unfair. Additionally, many parents with children voiced their criticism, protesting that the system was simply wrong no matter how you looked at it. “It’s not acceptable for girls to be practice dummys for boys, and it’s only detrimental to the children if boys have to cut corners more than necessary.”
Girls who don’t exercise have no braking function so it’s really dangerous. Even girls can get hurt, so it’s better to just kick them if they come without any motivation.
The number of children has decreased and there is not enough education, so we can’t have separate physical education classes for boys and girls like in the past.
>>36 This is something that can finally be done once the physical and athletic differences between men and women are eliminated. First of all, we need to take measures to improve the physiques of women.
I can understand that it’s mentally and physically tough for elementary school students, but is there anyone in middle school who would use enough strength to break a bone against a boy in gym class?
Is this a problem because it’s mixed gender? Even for boys, if a skinny kid joins the soccer club, it’s dangerous, and if you want to prevent injuries, wouldn’t that be an extreme idea to not play contact sports? It’s like playground equipment.
>>41 I don’t think there’s any need to do this with a man and a woman, regardless of whether it’s a fracture or not. Hyoroku-kun, just think of it as bad luck and do your best.
