Gender doesn’t exactly play into telling kids to tell a parent and/or teacher or doctor when anyone touches their “private area”? Pretty sure nipples are mentioned as such for girls and boys, if they are mentioned at all.
Part of what I was getting at, or rather how I read your question, is that none of my children mentioned any separation of the girls and boys for these lessons. There was mention of “private areas”, but also, “or any other touching that made you or others uncomfortable” and the “why” seems to have been left for the health classes they had later on in Middle School and High School.
“Stranger Danger” and “Bad Touch” aren’t discussed in Indiana Classrooms until the 2nd grade, and even then, its super-vague.
Is it gendered? Like who is taught what?

I agree, but do the policymakers see that as well?
