listen. many of you hate santos and i get it. she’s mean but like so is everyone else? langdon is mean as shit. robby is taking it out on everyone and snapping all the damn time.

like yes. she’s kinda mean but so is everyone else??? you cannot say “i love langdon and his personality” and “i hate santos for her personality” because they are the same person. santos is just a woman.

and i’ll be honest - i really didn’t like santos at first but then i did some reflection and while yes she’s mean and combative and hard to work with, so is langdon!!!

and sure langdon has his reasons - high on drugs, failing marriage, triggered by the child drowning, etc.

but so does santos - it’s her first day in a completely new, very stressful job with completely new people!!! she encounters a very triggering case on her first shift where a dad is molesting his kid!!! but more than that she’s young!!! she does not have the experience and self control to act “properly”.

she and langdon are the same person - they are both incredibly impulsive and cocky and self centered but the difference is that langdon has had the time to rein in those attributes while santos hasn’t. plus he gets more slack for it with robby bc he’s a bit of a misogynist.

and yes they are fictional characters but our interpretation of them greatly informs our understanding of real life and vice versa. for a lot of people this is a subconscious bias that they aren’t even aware they have. i too am a product of this society. but it is important to discuss these biases and how they effect our perception of media and real life.

what i’m saying is that while santos is annoying and bitchy so is langdon and you should look deeper into what makes you hate santos but love langdon.

in conversations about sex education for children many people fall back on teaching children to recognize and, hopefully, report predatory behavior as the primary reason why this education is good, and obviously I don't disagree with that! when I educate my 4th-6th students, we spend a significant amount of time talking about boundaries and consent and drilling in to the kids' brains that they do NOT need to tolerate inappropriate touching or other behavior from anyone, not even adults who might try to pressure them into thinking otherwise.

BUT! but but but! I think it's also really important to remember that preparing for the worst case scenario isn't the only reason to educate kids about sexuality and their bodies! kids deserve to enter puberty understanding all of the changes they'll experience, and not just the growing and sweating. it's good for kids to understand the new desires they might start experiencing! it's good to know about intense new crushes and erections and wet dreams and sexual fantasies and masturbation! those things can be really, really scary and confusing for young people who don't have any framework to understand them, and it's really easy to feel like you're doing something dirty and inappropriate if no one has told you that sexual pleasure and curiosity is normal, healthy, and good.

good sex ed should help students feel comfortable and safe expressing their sexuality! that's crucial!
