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.
I’ve never been called a misogynist my entire life. People have made unfair criticisms, people have made fair criticisms, but nobody called me a misogynist.
I wonder what kind of rhetoric you consistently have for people to dig up for this word in particular when speaking about you. Should make you wonder, probably won’t.
They dig it up because our society, in america at least, sees women as children and thinks they should not be responsible for the consequences of their actions, nor should they be financially independent from men.
I get it the most from women when I tell them I am not interested in financially supporting a woman and tell them they should pay their own bills rather than be dependent on men for financial solvency. Turns out a lot of people HATE that idea and think if you don’t support women being financially dependent on men as a good life choice, you hate women.
I generally support the idea that men and women should be independent functional adults… and a lot of people see that as misogyny due to their gender bias assumption that men are to be providers/parents to women. And anyone who doesn’t aspire to that type of a relationship is hates women, because the only ‘proper’ way to be a ‘man’ is to have a woman you take responsibility for emotionally and financially.
I have a feeling that you were called a misogynist less because of this opinion in and of itself, and more because you probably bring this up unsolicited and seething at any opportunity.
Aaand there we go. The misogynist is called a misogynist for being an actual misogynist.
Quick and easy demonstration.
right, so if i don’t want to pay off my girlfriends college debt. i hate women?
yeah that’s exactly proving my point. according to you if I don’t want to pay $75K of someone else’s poor choices, and she is a woman… I hate women. if i was gay and dating a man and didn’t want to pay off his debt, does that mean i hate men or a i hate homosexuals?
It can’t be that I just hate entitled deadbeat people or that I want a partner who contributes equally to a relationship.
Which is precisely why people view me as hating women. Because I treat them as equals and expect equality from them.
