Children as young as 11 who demonstrate misogynistic behaviour will be taught the difference between pornography and real relationships, as part of a multimillion-pound investment to tackle misogyny in England’s schools, the Guardian understands.

On the eve of the government publishing its long-awaited strategy to halve violence against women and girls (VAWG) in a decade, David Lammy told the Guardian that the battle “begins with how we raise our boys”, adding that toxic masculinity and keeping girls and women safe were “bound together”.

As part of the government’s flagship strategy, which was initially expected in the spring, teachers will be able to send young people at risk of causing harm on behavioural courses, and will be trained to intervene if they witness disturbing or worrying behaviour.

    Why doesn’t the British government tackle their organizational transphobia problem first?

    Oh what about Prince Andrew, how many girls did he do worse too? Maybe arrest him while you’re at it.

      Nobody is transphobic. If you desire to relay your feelings to others its best to not become white noise by immediately sounding unintelligent by mis-using the English language to over exaggerate your communities importance within the society that would have already accepted you and been cool with anyone in the lgbtquytcdf community, if not for your arrogant, “look at me, I need attention,” approach. The society may accept you, but youll never become apart of the culture of humanity, which is what your community truly desires. Here’s a rule of thumb for Trans people and the lgbctust community going forward, cultural imprinting takes subtly, time and patience. (which ur currently at a “baby crying on a 13hour flight” annoying. you did it to yourselves). If you want to be hated like people hate Nickelback, keep shoving your existence into everyones face.

      P.S. I am a straight black man whos confident that I speak for most people just trying to wake up and go to work in hopes that one day this week they can go without wishing they ODed on fentanyl.

      Devils advocate here:

      • trans people are far, far fewer
      • trans people are a lot less socially accepted
      • trans people are not objectively required for the continued existence of a society and/or country
      • trans people make for great social lightning rods because they are so controversial

      As for the royal pervert, you know as well as i that nothing will happen in that regard. The man is literally royalty.

        Every person is required for the continued existence of a society. What an absolutely braindead and unhinged take.

          Okay in case this was not entirely clear, this isnt my opinion, supposedly evident from the term devils advocate. I was merely illustrating the thought processes involved in making women a bigger political priority than trans people.

          Leave it to lemmy to read everything in the most antagonistic way possible. Really getting fucking tired of this place

            Because trans people are famously not “women” or “men”, they’re simply “trans”.

              Are you trying to prove me right? Lmao

              Since i apparently need to justify every fucking grammar choice i made on the shitter, i opted for the terms “trans people” and “women” as a matter of expediency and under the assumption the reader would be making a good faith effort to interpret the words as context suggests.

              Also, way to ignore entirely what i said for an opportunity to bitch about phrasing.

              Okay my friend, lets start at the beginning:

              • someone asks, in a thread about misogyny, why the british government doesnt instead do something trans related first before caring about the cis women
              • i respond with the most common and pragmatic political reasons not to do so
              • some twat accuses me of being a bigot over this
              • i point out that i merely responded
              • the twat doubles down on hostile accusations
              • we are here 👈

              Can we move on now?
