@warwickmansell @RogersHistory Something isn’t working but I would respectfully suggest looking wider than just schools. Schools try very hard not to suspend or isolate but to tackle many of these issues there is a need to look at many other factors to support schools and families.

If my boys grow up to be like Jo and Kush from Race Across the World we will have done something right. They’re a brilliant antidote to Tate-style toxic masculinity: bright, kind, compassionate, emotionally intelligent, grounded, and culturally aware. PROPER role models for boys.

[Dr. Ann Olivarius @AnnOlivarius]

Far from being a taboo, the men and boys who rape actually bond over it.

Collective, ritualistic humiliation and rape of women and girls is historically not new.

But filming and sharing it, to bond with a larger audience who then participates, is.

literally how can it get bleaker than this

[Máire 🇮🇪 @mochara57]

A personal observation from my time working (23yrs) in a school 🇮🇪
During supervision duty on corridors before start of classes, during break times & end of school day, one of the regular jobs was moving groups of boys away from near or outside the girls’ toilets. They’d hang around there & target the girls coming out with some really vile, nasty comments. It wasn’t every boy or every day & plenty of teenagers never went near this kind of behaviour, but it happened often enough that it became part of the routine. What struck me most was how schools show a side of teenage life that parents rarely see, a boy who was perfectly decent on his own could completely change when he was with his mates. In the group, some of them switched into this laddish mode where the ‘fun’ was making crude remarks about girls, scoring points with each other by being as obnoxious as possible. It was all about getting laughs & kudos from the pack. I’m pretty sure most parents have no idea this goes on, they see their son at home & assume that’s how he acts everywhere. At the same time, they often don’t realise what their daughters are dealing with every single school day, the comments, the waiting around, the feeling of being targeted just for walking down a corridor or using the toilet. It’s a reminder that the group dynamic in secondary school can bring out behaviours that would never happen in isolation & a lot of it stays hidden from home.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Keeping separate toilets for boys & girls is a basic, common-sense safeguard that protects girls, the group that suffers most when toilets are biologically mixed.

I think what you mean to say is:

Jo Shaw was killed by her ex-partner after he forced his way into her house armed with a device minutes before an explosion that killed both them.

Jo had previously reported him to the police.

A girl who hangs around with 'hoes' is automatically a 'hoe' but men who hang around with abusing, manipulative, rapist friends & all of a sudden it's 'not their business'

Pick a script and stick to it.

When a women is reading out the names of other women killed by men, for International Women’s Day, instead of telling her what she should do, instead of telling her what she should say, instead of whataboutery, the best thing any man can do, is sit down, listen and be quiet.

[Jeanie “woman, demon, slayer of pinecones” @Kissmyazz24]

Men are naturally submissive, not women. They love a hierarchy and being told what to do by other men.

[Prof Elaine Chalus @EHChalus]

To my mind, any Afghan girl or woman who is able to get out of the country should immediately be given permanent asylum. The situation for women in Afghanistan is unspeakable.

[Emma 💛💙🇩🇰🇬🇧🇪🇺 @MonkEmma]

Oh boy! What a headline...

Ask yourself:

"What am I being asked to believe?"

"Who am I being told to blame?"

Take a few seconds to imagine what the Daily Mail (And Telegraph, GB News and Express) WANT you to think is going on.

Let's see what's ACTUALLY happening...🧵

On Loose Women today they were talking about teachers having a bit more flexibility despite the holidays. We’re living in a world where more and more jobs are hybrid, flexible and built around real life. Teaching is one of the few professions that hasn’t moved with the times.

@breakingbaht What a twat

[🦢 @meishato]

btw have u ever noticed that no one called it a
“gender war” during the centuries that women were forced to marry, give birth, and be men’s unpaid labourers. it only became a war when women began demanding equality

[Collins🦋 @collinstimbela_]

women receive more shame for consensual sex than men do for rape

[💗 @ma1ybe]

we are DECADES behind on research on female health and this is what resources are being wasted on. studies about how males are collaterally affected by diseases that women suffer, studies about how men can’t get enough pleasure due to endometriosis . WHAT ARE WE DOING

[js @joooliet]

@susanpow @PeterStefanovi2 It doesn’t mean a 4 day school week

[js @joooliet]

@PeterStefanovi2 This does not mean that schools would go to 4 days though!
