      I have a seven and three year old and I think this is quite positive.

      >By primary school, children can have “absolute gender stereotypes”, Ms Udwin says.

      Absolutely. It’s something I think a lot of parents are familiar with, when their young children are saying „x is only for girls/boys“

      None of this would be necessary if we hadn’t imported a ton of people from misogynistic cultures

      *If you don’t have empathy, you can pull out a knife and stab someone later on and many do. But they won’t if you come in with a programme like this.”*

      We might need them to shoot people in a future war though. Swings and roundabouts.

      That sounds strange! I wonder what they are actually taught?

      *”They are taught that no emotional reaction is bad and to speak up about anything that makes them uncomfortable including hugs”*

      Oh, that’s not strange. Thats just common sense.

      As a parent of young children, it is amazing how many children **arent** taught this. Boys as young as 6 or 7 are told to “man up” and the way to protect themselves is to hit the other child first. My own children have been told by staff members that “boys will be boys” when they’ve been hit by a boy (yes, we made a complaint). There’s still a pervasive attitude that allows boys to get away with behaviour that girls would be punished for.

      Before people cluck and roll their eyes, we are now living in a world where the worlds richest man just gave us a Fully Automated Sexual Harassment Dispenser.

      So what I’m taking away from this is that we’re going to raise all our boys to be girls?

      > Over 9,000 London schoolchildren are receiving lessons up to three times a week on respect, kindness and how their actions make others feel. The project is designed by the global education specialists, Think Equal

      The rest of the article seems to focus mainly on reducing sexual violence by men/boys but it sounds like this program is broader than that. I think lessons on respect and kindness are valuable for all children anyway. Hopefully this program continues to show good results

      Good for them. Nasty little things those 3 year olds

      The boy ones I mean.

      Andrew Tate has been in jail (now temporarily out) and awaiting trial since years, no way he’s a role figure any longer.

      BTW, where can I see the trial results and what he was found guilty for?

    10. AverageFishEye on

      We will try everything, absolutely everything, except providing good role models. Instead we hope that finger wagging does the job, when we already know it wont

    11. Sad_Soup6474 on

      Anyone that’s been in a secondary school in the last 5 years knows this is absolutely needed. i went to an all boys, so i know from first hand experience that there is a massive rise in toxic masculinity and hatred

      this stuff unfortunately does need to be taught as parents are just not parenting correctly. especially when its much easier to throw a screen in front of your kid to get them to shut up. then they go on to watch people like andrew tate or podcasts like joe rogan and fall into that rabbit hole

    12. meandering_fart on

      Thats great. Hopefully they also learn to reject toxic femininity as well because there are plenty of gold-digging slags out there that see men as a cash point.

    13. Vuxoon on

      If this is under the umbrella of generally teaching all boys and girls to respect eachother then I can’t see a massive issue.

    14. Capital-Mortgage-374 on

      Men = bad. Men can become women. Men are toxic. Strength is bad. We get it.

      Reddit will love this. However, the average person will find this bemusing and dystopian. The average Joe doesn’t see masculinity as a negative trait.

    15. bodyisT on

      It depends what they’re being taught. The phrase toxic masculinity itself is sexist and teaching only boys about sexual harassment as if it’s something only males do is sexist. But teaching boys to be themselves authentically and to express themselves is ok. Why can’t we call that empowerment?

    16. xhable on

      There’s only one bit of nuance I hope is taught in this context.

      The seperation of toxic masculinity from masculinity.

      There was a survey a while back that showed children claimed to have not heard the word masculinity without the word toxic being associated, which was desperatly sad and damaging. Feeling constraned and unable to express yourself / or thinking masculine things are inherently viewed as a negative thing by society to half the population of a class isn’t great.

      Definetly a positive thing that the concept of toxic masculinity is being taught in schools.
