据上海新民网报道，上海教育出版社于10月12日推出了国内首本为小学男生量身定制的性别教育教材。

Entitled "XiaoXiao Nanzihan" or "Little Man" in English, the textbook focuses mental health education of male pupils in the fourth and fifth grades in primary school, aiming to help them understand sexual physiology, sexual psychology and enhance their fundamental ability of self-protection.

该教材取名为《小小男子汉》，课程对象主要是小学四五年级的男生。该教材涉及到该年龄段男孩的心理健康教育问题，旨在帮助他们了解性生理以及性心理学方面的知识，加强其保护、悦纳自己的基本能力。

With a total of six chapters, the textbook introduces a wide range of basic knowledge including the topics of "What is the difference between a boy and a girl?", "Why am I a boy and not a girl?", "What does a father mean to a son?", "How can we get along with nature?" as well as "Why do we need to have awareness about investment and money management?".

本教材一共分为六章，涵盖了“男生和女生之间究竟有何不同”“为什么我是男孩不是女孩”“父亲对于儿子意味着什么”“如何和大自然和谐相处”以及“为什么我们需要具有投资和理财意识”等方面的内容。

The Shanghai Educational Publishing House said pupils who learn the book will have a separate classroom from their female classmates. No word yet on what textbook the girls will learn from in their classrooms.

上海教育出版社表示将采用男女生分班上课的模式，但并未谈及女孩上课将使用何种教材。

The move aims to help boys more openly discuss some questions they might otherwise not address in their daily lives.

同时，这一举措意在引导男生可以更开放地讨论一些在日常生活中很难展开的问题。
