As you said, with so many external influences that are pushing people to be gross, it's hard to instill those values in them.

Reaching boys about consent earlier would be a start. Some worrying articles:

Teaching boys not to rape seems like a more decent strategy than teaching women that they must defend themselves from men because that's "just how men are" or "boys being boys."
