Australia to teach about 'male privilege' to help curb gender violence

Ready to smash the patriarchy, mate? Well, say goodbye to gender inequality and g'day to enlightened schoolchildren, because Australia's kids are learning about privilege.  

A new A$21.8 million ($16.5 million) education program has been trialled in Victoria, and will now be rolled out in the state's public schools over the next two years. It aims to encourage "respectful relationships" among male and female students, including addressing issues of "social inequality, gender-based violence and male privilege."
