Today, I watched Last Week Tonight with John Oliver again, this time about sex education. He talked about the inconsistent laws in the United States and how very vague they are. He said the laws depend on the state, but in reality sex education can vary from disctrict to district or even from school to school. In some states, they aren't even required to be medically correct. In the end, he showed an educational video he made himself that was probably better than most sex ed classes in schools. abstinence - "Abstinence is a way to avoid pregnancy, but it is not the only one." consent - "If a person doesn't give their consent, it is considered rape." contraception - "Teen pregnancies are a result of inadequate education about contraception."

Today, I watched Last Week Tonight with John Oliver again, this time about abortion laws in the United States. His main focus was on the restrictions for abortion clinics, such as the law they they have to meet the same building requirements as hospitals and that their doctors have to have hospital admitting privileges, both of which are not needed for an abortion clinic to function safely. The american government says they restrict these laws to help women's health, but it is not true. stance - "Her stance on this topic was very clear and she wouldn't change her mind." vague - "His friend's description was very vague so he wasn't sure what to do." ultrasound - "The pregnant woman saw her baby for the first time during an ultrasound."

I decided to watch a clip from Last Week Tonight with John Oliver about sexual harassment in a workplace. He answered a lot of important questions about this topic and brought up countless cases of accusations, going as far as Anita Hill's case from the nineties. He mentioned the absurd culture of blaming women, brought up men's fears of false accusations and openly disagreed with them, saying you shouldn't be afraid to be alone with a female coworker as long as you don't do anything inapproprate. allegation - "She made allegations of his inappropriate behaviour, but sadly she didn't have any proof." compelled - "The employees were all compelled to attend this meeting sd it was important and the boss wanted everyone there." policy - "The firm's policy didn't allow her to share the information with her friends."
