Australia: Monash university project giving teachers tools to combat 'toxic masculinity' has been slammed for equating Jordan Peterson with Andrew Tate
Article here. Excerpt:
'A Monash University project which aims to counter the growth of “toxic masculinity” in Australian classrooms has been slammed for failing to distinguish the views of Jordan Peterson and Andrew Tate.
Teachers at independent and Catholic schools will be given conversation guides and role-play scripts as part of the project, which will see Monash University’s Arts and Education faculties develop school-based early intervention programs to “identify and tackle the harms of online misogyny and gender-based violence in schools”.
A media release about the project, which is funded by Australia’s National Research Organisation for Women’s Safety (ANROWS), warns “toxic masculinity and misogynistic gender narratives” gaining traction online are seeping in to classrooms, threatening gender equality and contributing to gender-based violence.'
