Summary
Social media influencers are fuelling a rise in misogyny and sexism in the UK’s classrooms, according to teachers.
More than 5,800 teachers were polled… and nearly three in five (59%) said they believe social media use has contributed to a deterioration in pupils’ behaviour.
One teacher said she’d had 10-year-old boys “refuse to speak to [her]…because [she is] a woman”. Another said “the Andrew Tate phenomena had a huge impact on how [pupils] interacted with females and males they did not see as ‘masculine’”.
“There is an urgent need for concerted action… to safeguard all children and young people from the dangerous influence of far-right populists and extremists.”
Those little shits should be slapped by their mom’s when they get home from school. Suburban trash.
They can listen to Tate all they want, provided they get straight As.
(or maybe 1 hour of Tate for every 3 hours of feminists such as Gloria Steinem)
I’d think by their fathers, so that it doesn’t pidgeon hole them into further misogyny
There’s a lot more to flesh out, but I agree 100% with this basic principle. I’m looking back & idk other than the occasional spanking when I was very little, most physical discipline was administered by my father. Even if I crossed my mother.
It reinforced traditional gender roles, and frankly I think it subconsciously implies…a solidarity & mutual respect between the partners in a marriage. My father stood up for, and backed, my mother. They parented mostly gently, but also firmly, in lockstep. Were they perfect? Of course not. But generally speaking I think it worked pretty well.
