From Scottishland comes this report:
Female pupils and staff in Scotland’s schools are at risk from an alarming rise in ‘toxic masculinity’ which has sparked an urgent classroom crackdown.
Staff report boys using catchphrases that belittle women, pulling at girls’ clothes, sending unwanted explicit photos to female classmates and harassing female teachers. In one example, a group of boys refused to be taught by one teacher and then distributed a faked pornographic image of her.
Staff also report worrying signs of violence and coercive control in teenage relationships.
Given that boys are always at fault, are belittled for being boys, and in general are being fucked around by female teachers and society in general:
…is it any surprise that at some point, boys are going to respond negatively?
Oh yeah, and according to the article, it’s all Andrew Tate’s fault (and look what happened to him). The Andrew Tate phenomenon is just a reaction to the pussification of men, really. If men weren’t being attacked on all sides for just being men, Tate would be a marginal figure and still living in obscurity.
By the way, in looking for the above pic, I found this one:
Now that’s funny.
Little Johnny, out of spite,
Blew up his nurse with dynamite.
His mother said, “What a noise!”
His father said, “Boys will be boys.”
I’m curious as to the demographic makeup of the boys in question. Alas, the article doesn’t mention it. Whatever should I conclude?
Belittling women, pulling their clothes, and making unwanted sexual advances are the traits that back in my day, the teachers and principal would rightfully whack out of us without a second thought. And while I’m sick of the pussified beta girlymen that we see today, I’m equally offended by males—I won’t call them ‘men’—who are disrespectful to women and bully others.
I’m not a fan of the term ‘toxic masculinity’ one bit. Not because it doesn’t exist, but because it’s overused. Teaching a boy how to become a gentleman who is still competitive and strong, but also respectful and kind should be the goal here. The kind of man you’d want to work with (or for), or who you’d consider a good dad or team mate.
If masculinity were toxic, then shouldn’t boys raised by single mothers in predominantly female homes and schools be more successful and “well adjusted” than any other males in society? Instead we see the opposite. These boys have much higher rates of criminal behavior and drug abuse.
Kids should definitely be taught manners and that masculinity is not toxic
