It’s worse than it’s ever been. I’ve taught in state schools for thirty years ~ it’s never been this bad. These are not bad children. They all need help. The boys and the girls all deserve better from us. But it’s brutal to be a female teacher at the moment, I can’t imagine what it’s like to be a teenage girl.
Teenagers will always say stupid shit. You’re never going to succeed if your objective is to make teenagers (especially teenage boys) completely inoffensive. Language policing is a non starter.
I mean, seriously, were these people never kids themselves?
Yep, kids are naturally misogynistic and should be reported and removed.
It’s not a teachers job to teach kids about common decency, acceptable behaviour and the value of others
People on this sub will deny that this is an issue though
I think we need to start giving boys a positive vision of masculinity. It’s obvious that masculinity is something a lot of them aspire to and I think that if teachers and parents don’t give them an idea of what that means then they’ll get it from one of these rape goblins on the internet
Porn combined with toxic male influencers is creating unrealistic expectations in young men and entitlement when it comes to women.
This is not to say that sexism in schools hasn’t always existed, but I feel like we’ve crossed a precipice from bad taste jokes to hatred and risk of violence against women and girls.
Yes. 12 year old white boys are the problem because adolescence told me so
In my daughter’s year 4 class there is a boy who is clearly a misogynist at the age of 9. He’s just plain weird, but even at this age he appears hyper aware of sexuality and all sorts of things the other kids just aren’t. He repeatedly tries to instigate games of kiss chase in the park after school, gets pissy when none of the kids want to play it. He imitated another boy from his class online and tried to get them in trouble, all because they were friends with a a girl who he is weird towards. The list is endless.
His parents are pretty well off, both have good jobs. He lives in a decent house in a lovely area and wants for nothing; he’s spoilt. He’s clearly academically gifted too. But his parents are blind to his behavior- in total denial. When we and the school have approached him they’ve just rejected it – denied its a problem.
He’s supposed to be banned from playing online but he clearly does – his parents have no checks on him. He has a YouTube channel full of the weirdest stuff – mostly created in the games he’s supposed to be banned from. Who knows what he’s watching on YouTube.
It’s weird to see this behavior so open and in real life with parents taking no stand against it. He’s either going to become a CEO or end up in jail.
Shame loads of boys have few to no positive male role models growing up. I’m sure society will do nothing about it however and continue to be shocked when this sort of trend happens.
6,000 teachers surveyed out of 600,000 plus teachers in the UK. Bafflingly small sample size for this research
And you can’t tell me social media and teens having smartphones hasn’t heightened this, everything is extreme and you have easy access to toxic advice and influencers/memes. Sure teens talk a lot of crap but 20 years ago kids weren’t listening to these douche podcasts and repeating what they say.
I have noticed this amongst young people – as it stands it is difficult to combat especially if you are a woman. Aye, as a man have duty to do better. I can look after myself very well and don’t feel fear that most others have. I continually engage with youths in my local town to ask questions and get them to speak freely. The amount of media they are open to is terrifying as someone who has seen the alt sides of the left and the right. This will get worse as time moves on unless we make more stands against it.
I do worry that normal adolescent nonsense is now being classed as problematic. Dealing with that behaviour in the wrong way can make it worse. I don’t think teen boys need more people telling them off.
The government will fix this easily, they just need to get a collection of Karen’s abd the worlds most effeminate men to travel round the country showing them adolescence and then lecturing them about toxic masculinity and problem solved. The teenage boys who have no positive male role modeld in their life and are being left behind in every way academically by girls will surely learn the error in there ways.
I wonder how many of them have a dad living in this house
I feel this is a symptom of removing male role models.
For example, men don’t want to teach anymore for fear of being labelled. This also extends to interacting with young people.
Blaming Tate for this is so shortsighted and demonstrates a lack of interest to resolve the issue. This phenomena is clearly the end game of modern feminism, that’s spent a decade telling men they’re shit and scaring them into silence and seclusion. Are we really surprised that young men are rebelling now? Feminism is the same reason men are so scared of being teachers too, its why there are so few of them and why there is so much of a marketing push to try and get more men into the field.
You do not win by silencing the misogyny they are seeing online; banned things always become cool amongst kids. You win by drowning them out with stories and examples of men who have achieved success without resorting to being a twat. These kids want to feel validated and to feel like they will be successful in life. Like it or not, Tate shows them a path to that. Make it so that these boys feel that honest work will get them something in life and that their concerns will not be dismissed and Tate &Co. will fade into obscurity.
Ahhh.. wonders of Islamic scholars and backwards ideologies where women are treated like dirt. Congratulations!
People are assuming that lads will aspire to be honourable good guys if we give them positive male role models and remove the negative ones.
People are forgetting that kids (especially boys) are assholes, and bullying, hazing, belittling others based on gender, race, appearance, interests etc isn’t something they do because daddy tate told them to and they wanna make him proud, its because it fills them with false big peepee energy and is fun- especially where the repercussions are usually just a stern letter home and maybe a week exclusion. That’s ALWAYS been the case, even before social media. Just ask any girl, gay guy or guy that isn’t obsessed with football that grew up before 2000.
I don’t know the solution to the problem though. I’d love to say turn the tables and ostracise such behaviour from a young age, but there will always be the “they’re just kids, they can change with nurture” argument.
Worrying headline, yes, but how do we discern from the piss taking/shooting the shit/’banter’, from the actual Andrew Tate stabby stabby shit?
Always Misogny, every single time and never Misandry since no fucker cares about boys.
