One of the worst things I was taught as a kid was "Boys and men are supposed to sacrifice their lives to save others".

Our country's 5th grade literature textbook even had a titanic-like sinking-ship story in which a boy gave up his life so a girl got to live. It was taught at school. Every boy in my generation had to learn it in grade 5. And they wanted boys to follow that example.

Again, boys are repeatedly taught that self-sacrifice and self-abandonment are the best masculine traits. I was only 10, and was very impressionable, and a decade later, I still remember about it till today. It was less like teaching and was more like guilt-tripping. "You are a terrible male if you don't give up your life to save others" was what they tried to tell little boys.

In that same chapter, they talked about a city where men had to pay 70 mxn pesos to attend a festival, while women and men-in-drag had to pay only 20 mxn pesos, and it was talked about as if it was a good thing.

If I continue talking about all the misandry I was taught at school, this post will be very very long.
