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.

    making women a bigger political priority than trans people

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

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

      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.
