A public school science teacher, Christian Shearhod, stirred controversy by deviating from traditional classroom prizes and opting to give out makeup and skincare products to his students. He explained that his girlfriend had packed him a bag of these items, suggesting they be distributed as rewards for good work. Despite negative comments accusing him of confusing male students and imposing beliefs, Shearhod defended his choice, emphasising the importance of allowing self-expression and rejecting gender stereotypes. He highlighted that boys may choose to use makeup for loved ones and challenged outdated notions of masculinity that limit creative expression.
