Don't Worry About The Ones That Make A List, Worry About The Ones That Don't....

A group of teenage girls have said they feel "worthless" and "frightened" as a result of the extreme misogyny they regularly experience.
The students, from Tyneside, have spoken out after making a film about the language they endure at school and online. Many comments are too explicit to share, but they include threats of violence and rape often masked as "banter". One girl described how disturbed she had been after a "rape list" was made by boys in her school.

Because she was on it? Or because she wasn't

The government said it was "taking bold and decisive action to halve violence against women and girls", with changes being introduced from September to help teachers challenge misogyny.

Teachers seem to be co-opted into every barmy government scheme to bring forth a Brave New World, lately...

One girl told the BBC she felt "worthless" after learning of the "rape list" made by boys in her school. "Boys ordering girls, who they want to rape the most and then the least," she explained. "It is frightening because you don't know people's real intentions."
Catherine Marchant, CEO of Impact Family Services in South Tyneside, said young people could become unaware of abuse in real life if violent misogynistic attitudes were normalised in schools and on social media.
Marchant said her charity saw generations of women using its services, with breaking the cycle of abuse having to begin by educating young people. "We're almost having 13-year-old girls being raped by 13-year-old boys," she said.

Almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades, Catherine. 

"But nobody's told the girls that boys shouldn't do that to them, and in some cases nobody's told the boys that they shouldn't."

It's not going to work when their holy book and their culture and all the adults around them are telling them they can, is it?

The Cousins Won’t Like This, Khan…


No separate entrances at the mosque for men and women, then? 

Combating the “pernicious influence” of misogynists such as Andrew Tate in primary schools is a vital part of teaching children about equality and respect, the mayor of London has told teachers. Sadiq Khan has written to every primary school in London urging them to counter the online misogyny of influencers such as Tate through new classes and workshops that are being set up across the capital as part of plans to tackle violence against women and girls.

Oh, of course. Ignoring the elephant in the room and declaring an Internet nobody Public Enemy No 1. How surprising...  

The mayor’s office has launched a £1m toolkit to help teachers counter dangerous messages from influencers after research revealed that one in three young males have a positive view of Tate, a self-proclaimed misogynist, and one in 10 children have watched pornography by the time they are nine. The toolkit, developed by the healthy relationships charity Tender, trains teachers how to run workshops, drama and interactive classroom sessions to teach nine- to 11-year-olds how to recognise and call out inequality and sexism.

And if they start calling it out when they are taught about Islam? What then? 

Susie McDonald, the chief executive of Tender, acknowledged that discussing gender inequality and healthy relationships could be difficult, but said primary school was a critical time for children to learn about communication, empathy and respect. “It’s imperative that children learn about healthy relationships and are supported to build positive attitudes and behaviours,” she said. “By challenging potentially problematic attitudes at their root, we can prevent a culture of abuse against women and girls.”

There's people banged up in jail at the behest of our lying coward  of a Prime Minister for doing exactly that, Susie.
