Summary

Social media influencers are fuelling a rise in misogyny and sexism in the UK's classrooms, according to teachers.

More than 5,800 teachers were polled... and nearly three in five (59%) said they believe social media use has contributed to a deterioration in pupils' behaviour.

One teacher said she'd had 10-year-old boys "refuse to speak to [her]...because [she is] a woman". Another said "the Andrew Tate phenomena had a huge impact on how [pupils] interacted with females and males they did not see as 'masculine'".

"There is an urgent need for concerted action... to safeguard all children and young people from the dangerous influence of far-right populists and extremists."

The beauty of this movement is, that no woman would accept a man like that as a father to her children

No, but incel culture is also rapist culture. They aren't looking for consent.

It's always interesting seeing comments like this from people who don't understand the situation.

Andrew Tate brags about trafficking and rape, and they idolize him. In short: They don't care about acceptance or consent, their plan is turn women into a subservient class that isn't allowed to have jobs, bank accounts, car, etc.

It's strange how often this has been done in the past. The only culture that didn't treat women like lesser beings afaik were the vikings. Who weren't perticularly known for being kind either. Anyhow. Women there were able to own a plot of land and a home. Rather than be a servant in it to a man.

That shit wasn't transient either, in Scandinavia women will still stand and fuck your shit up if you mess with them.

They somehow solved civilization, it's incredible.

The numbers don't lie - scandinavian countries are happier and healthier.

Not by a little bit, commuting here from California is like traveling between heaven and Somalia.

I have been blissfully unaware of this… I can’t believe how quickly civilisation is turning into a pile of shit.

As a father to a young boy, outside of blocking all social media (tiktok, instagram, facebook, twitter, snapchat) which I already do, is there another medium or method in which this crap can be spread? Of course, I’ll try to instill the same virtues and moral principles that I carry, but I recognise I probably have a few more years, before peer pressure becomes a thing for him. If this is a disease that spreads amongst young men, I’ll try to rip that off, root and stem.

It's not all human civilization. I'm in Japan right now and it's not happening like that here. Don't misunderstand, things aren't perfect here, there's other issues, but the kids are mostly alright.

And even in Canada it's not everybody with these issues, it's mostly the anglos. Lots of non english private schools that don't have these issues for various reasons - banned cellphones, stricter rules, stricter parents, etc.

My friends in China tell me the kids there also don't have these issues. Again, other issues, but not these.
