Article here. Excerpt:
'Teenange girls should be taught feminism at school to stop the growing trend of giving themselves abusive 'male' nicknames such as 'slut' and 'whore', an expert said yesterday.
...
She called for teachers to discuss feminism and suggest positive role models, who could include figures such as Virginia Woolf, suffragettes' leader Emmeline Pankhurst and even the cartoon character Lisa Simpson.
She said they are needed to overcome the negative influences of celebrities such as Paris Hilton, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera.'

Something else other than feminism is needed!
Teaching feminism has led us to this place. Can't people see that teaching girls to be "liberated" in the feminist sense leads inexorably to sexualizing them, as it is what girls themselves want? Just as with boys, they need to be taught to relate positively with girls. All this starts at home. Girls need fathers as boys need mothers, and vice versa. Good mothers show boys what a good self-respecting woman is, and good fathers show girls what a good man is like. Mothers teach daughters to be women, and fathers teach boys to be men. If that system is broken, things fall apart, as they have here in the US and UK. This is because feminism got into our culture and whacked the family system, driving a wedge between husband and wife, leading to disintegration of the family and loss of these positive examples to the kids. So what we need is not feminism taught in schools but instead, girls taught to be self-respecting. Feminism doesn't do that, even if it claims to.
feminism is the root cause
of these societal woes.
"you go girl" has gotten us to this point.
Teaching girls to be self respecting "ladies" was considered hideous blasphemy by the 70s feminists.
Now we have >40% bastardy rates. 50% or greater divorce rates. Women that "chase" men into live-in relationships, violent girls and women, and the list continues to grow as women continue to emulate young boys and men.
They want to be "empowered"...no. THEY WANT POWER.
And using sex is the fastest, most direct way to get power.
And one of the worst in terms of outcomes.

Feminism is a religion. It
Feminism is a religion. It is based on faith, not fact. It should not be taught in a public school system.
Masculism should be taught in schools
To teach our boys how one-sided the legal terms are to marriage, how one-sided the laws are for boys and men when it comes to anything having to do with women. Teach the boys the facts - that 60% of enrollment in college is for girls, that if you have a vagina you are entitled to all sorts of societal perks that boys are not entitled to.
Lets put it out on the table where it belongs, so boys and young men DO NOT make serious mistakes with women and end up in jail and/or dead broke.

Has she even seen a TV?
in the past decade? If I remember right, most shows now portray the fat, bald and bumbling husband having to be saved by his strong, smart sexy wife. Feminism isn't taught in schools: it IS school. We are told, IN SCHOOL, that we should all be admiring the women's lib activists. It's hammered into our heads to admire their strength and courage, and we should feel grateful at how better off our lives are now. I don't admire them; I admire real women, mothers and school teachers and faithful wives. I sure ain't going to start idolizing Friedman.
