Summary

Social media influencers are fuelling a rise in misogyny and sexism in the UK's classrooms, according to teachers.

More than 5,800 teachers were polled... and nearly three in five (59%) said they believe social media use has contributed to a deterioration in pupils' behaviour.

One teacher said she'd had 10-year-old boys "refuse to speak to [her]...because [she is] a woman". Another said "the Andrew Tate phenomena had a huge impact on how [pupils] interacted with females and males they did not see as 'masculine'".

"There is an urgent need for concerted action... to safeguard all children and young people from the dangerous influence of far-right populists and extremists."

The beauty of this movement is, that no woman would accept a man like that as a father to her children

It's always interesting seeing comments like this from people who don't understand the situation.

Andrew Tate brags about trafficking and rape, and they idolize him. In short: They don't care about acceptance or consent, their plan is turn women into a subservient class that isn't allowed to have jobs, bank accounts, car, etc.

It's strange how often this has been done in the past. The only culture that didn't treat women like lesser beings afaik were the vikings. Who weren't perticularly known for being kind either. Anyhow. Women there were able to own a plot of land and a home. Rather than be a servant in it to a man.

No, but incel culture is also rapist culture. They aren't looking for consent.
