Technically, when sex is or could be involved, not just reproduction. I'm sure most people having these specific communication problems don't give a damn about reproduction

And I guess some people would say they're looking for love, not sex, so gender matters in problems of communication when dating is involved. And even then, same-sex couples undoubtedly have communication problems too.

So I believe classes on the psychology of attraction and subsequent interactions should be separate from classes on general communication.

But you're right, there are more important things to learn in school. We can learn the rest in social settings. Unfortunately far too many miss out on those learning opportunities.
