A Third Of Teachers Reported Misogyny Among Pupils Last Week

[naomi24]

//More than a third of secondary teachers have reported misogynistic behaviour from pupils at their school in the last week, a survey commissioned by BBC News suggests.

About 40% of the teachers who responded also said they felt ill-equipped to handle such conduct.//

Why is this happening  - and what is the solution?

I bet it's the women teachers making the most noise.

Women would be making he most noise; it's they who bear the brunt.

[DDIL]

I would say the solution is education and a chat with the parents, but you just have to look on here as to how women are referred to.

silly moo

women make the most noise

and it goes on.

My son is a teacher and reports that many of the male students ( mainly Somali)are rude and disrespectful towards female teachers.

[Atheist]

I think the internet is the main source of this sort of thing. Have you heard of Andrew Tate?

[naomi24]

I think it's likely to be cultural (see Margo's post) but the survey doesn't appear to have taken that into account.

Music - grime, drill, rap; internet pornography; social media influencers

nothing to do with culture imo. it's endemic - just look how ttt reverts to patronisingly calling you love if you disagree with his "arent i superior" posts, he told someone last week i had to be a woman cause i did so much moaning.

However, i suspect there is just as much misandry inschools - but the teachers werent asked about that

"Love" isn't a derogatory term; in fact when I was younger my mother encouraged me to use the term, presumably as it was a friendly phrase to use.

 

As for misogyny (or misandry for that matter) again it's down to parenting, whether the kid gets it directly from their parents, or the parents are failing to ensure their kids don't get exposed to it.

 

Of course it may be a case of greater sensitivity and reporting. And there may even be further complicating factors such as foreign culture, as suggested above, or low standards of neighbours in the local area perhaps.

 

Something is very wrong though, when a school feels they need to remind parents of their responsibilities.

It's time parents took responsibility for their children - fines, even imprisonment if necessary

[Atheist]

OG. 'Love' was what we used  when I was a kid, but it doesn't go down too well with younger female southerners (and it also depends on the attitude of those who use the term).

I do think that parents are not necessarily to blame, as the kids spend lots of time online, and the internet is full of exciting and interesting (to rebellious kids) material.

How many mothers influence their sons to be disrespectful to women?

[Atheist]

Boto. ANd what about fines and prison for online influencers?

[tomus42]

It is apparently the influence of odious creeps like Andrew Tate on social media, and the fact that young boys are susceptible to his kind of hateful garbage.

I have no idea what the solution is, I wish I did.

12:28 ....and you are doing nothing to get that view revised sweetheart!

[Old_Geezer]

And who is responsible for what their child has access to ?  Parents should supervise the family PC, and not give "smart" mobiles and tablets to their children to use unsupervised.

[Clone]

There's not much respect anywhere.

Society is crumbling and I'm witnessing it in real time. I have defended kids in the past but too many are now becoming scumbags because it is now easy to be a scumbag without consequence. I don't think it is necessarily misogyny, it is just an exponential growth in disrespect. 

Idiots pretend all these migrants are refugees in need of help. When, in reality, many of them are dangerous people. 

The powers that be seem happy to lead us down the path of societal failure, both the Cons and Labour have badly let down this country. Unfortunately, I don't think Reform are a silver bullet.
