#994 Resetting Sibling Dynamics

Andrew Tate's harmful ideology is infiltrating schools. Boys, broadly speaking, are big fans, and their behaviour in the classroom is reflecting this.

Dr Stephanie Westcott (researcher and lecturer in the School of Education, Culture, and Society at Monash University) shares her research on the experiences women are having in educational settings across Australia, looking at the influence of misogynistic ideology, how algorithms on TikTok and Youtube direct young boys to these ideas, and what parents, carers, and educators can do to combat the rise of these radicalised masculine myths.

In this episode:
Andrew Tate
Misogyny infiltrating classrooms
Harmful ideology influencing young boys
Andrew Tate’s extreme views about women are infiltrating Australian schools. We need a zero-tolerance response, Westcott & Roberts | The Conversation


Experiences women are having in educational contexts

Framing boys and men as victims
Radicalisation of masculinity
Andrew Tate Effect in Australian Classrooms | ABC News
What it means to be a real man
Algorithms on social media are showing young boys very specific content

#993 Schoolyard Misogyny with Stephanie Westcott

Justin's singing turned complaints about dishes into a whole lot of fun, with sound levels hitting dangerous decibel levels!
