Adolescence demonises white working-class boys

Article here. Excerpt:

'I think another difficulty is that it’s just hooey to think that the main threat of violence posed to women and girls, particularly girls, is white working-class boys brought up in stable two parent families. Total hooey. The main writer of the series claimed that he based it on three real life cases. In every case, the perpetrator was not a working-class teenage boy from a stable family background. You can see why, you know, the appalling murders by Axel Rudakubana, has prompted a kind of moral panic about this. But this is a complete misdiagnosis of what the causes of that episode were.

And the idea now that this is going to be shown in schools! There’s been a real clamour for Adolescence to be shown in schools, to teach boys why they should resist these kind of toxic influences. The idea that that these poor mites are going to have to sit through this and self-flagellate afterwards and explain to the their classmates why masculinity is toxic and should at all costs be handled with tongs – it’s awful to think. They’re in a bad enough way as it is without being demonised yet again by the mainstream media, their schools and MPs.'
