Australia: Schools need more support to stop the spread of toxic masculinity

Article here. Excerpt:

'Schools are in urgent need of support to combat alarming rates of sexism, sexual harassment, intimidation and disrespect towards women and girls in Australian schools.

Our ongoing research project on the radicalisation of boys in Australian schools by misogynist influencers has so far revealed troubling insights into the spread of toxic attitudes and behaviour among boys.

The behaviour is overt, it is widespread, and it is impacting women and girls in schools.

UK schools have received advice from the Department for Education (DfE) to discourage discussion of Tate and the DfE is refusing further support for schools.

In Australia, the same behaviour is being widely experienced by teachers across both the public and independent systems and in primary and secondary settings.

This trend is being widely underreported and acknowledged, which further isolates women in schools grappling with boys' problematic behaviour.'
