UK: Toxic masculinity is so rife I’m terrified for my son’s future

Article here. Excerpt:

'I knew I had to make sure he doesn’t view women as inferior or feels entitled to control and demean his peers simply because of their gender.

And I know that we, as a society, should teach boys from childhood that violence against women and girls is a deadly epidemic that needs to be stopped

Labour’s plans are not perfect, but they’re a start.

Of course, during a teaching recruitment crisis and when funding is tighter than ever, it may feel hard to condone adding something like gender equality lessons or anti-toxic masculinity classes to the curriculum.

There will be concerns over how they will fit, what they will cost and who will even teach them.

But for me, that’s exactly the point. Isn’t that what caused this epidemic to run rampant in the first place?'
