Teach Us: How Gender Expectations Can Limit & Hurt Us











We’re told from a young age how to act, dress, and even feel, based on our gender. But who wrote those rules, and what happens when they don’t fit?
In this eye-opening documentary, Teach Us Consent explores how gender expectations show up in everyday life and the damage they can do. From locker room talk and hookup culture, to TikTok trends and power dynamics in relationships — we hear from athletes, advocates, creatives and educators on how these stereotypes take hold and how they impact consent, self-worth, and connection.
We also look at how race, culture, class and disability intersect with gender to shape our experiences, and how tradition can evolve without erasing identity.
With raw insight and real stories, this episode challenges us to ditch outdated roles and make room for people to define their own masculinity, femininity — or anything in between.
