I think feminists may have bitten off more than they can chew here. Society has no problem endlessly abusing men, but now that feminists are trying to abuse little boys things may get sticky. Most people aren't aware that schools have already been changed to privilege girls (See CH Sommers' "War Against Boys"); if they were aware of this we would undoubtedly see more pissed off mothers and fathers. This time they're doing it right out in the open. These disgusting harpies and their billionaire/state backers actually have the gall to tell boys they are abusive privileged oppressors even as they're being drugged with Ritalin and systematically disadvantaged in the education system. These boys are just learning how to ride a bike for Fuck's sake~!
Feminist indoctrination is not so terrible in highschool because the kids can just do a google search and easily debunk eg the wage gap. But the Australian government is trying to teach this shit to boys (and girls) as young as six*. Ironically these lessons were supposedly designed to reduce male on female domestic violence (apparently the reverse doesn't count), even though the Duluth model has long since been discredited. So their brilliant plan is to engage in the mass mental abuse of boys at the age when they are most vulnerable and when boys are already disadvantaged in schools. Could you imagine a male teacher bullying six year old girls like this? How pathetic does a person have to be to bully children?
Edit: Since the particulars of the program itself are not mentioned in this article here is another one:
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-37640353
A guide for the Year 7 and 8 curriculum states: "Being born a male, you have advantages - such as being overly represented in the public sphere - and this will be true whether you personally approve or think you are entitled to this privilege." [Also over-represented in privileged spheres like workplace accidents and deaths -- about 95% if memory serves]
It describes privilege as "automatic, unearned benefits bestowed upon dominant groups" based on "gender, sexuality, race or socio-economic class" [interesting that socio-economic class is placed last on the privilege hierarchy, even though it is by far the most important indicator of actual "privilege" -- to the extent that we can even quantify such nebulous concepts; I wonder if that's because most feminists are middle and upper class?].
Year 11 and 12 students are introduced to the concept of "hegemonic masculinity" which "requires boys and men to be heterosexual, tough, athletic and emotionless, and encourages the control and dominance of men over women". [Excuse me, requires men to be heterosexual? Have these idiots not watched a wild life video? Are feminists suggesting that we pray the hetero away via feminism like religious fundamentalists demand that gays "pray the gay away?" How in the fuck is this shit being taught in schools? Nevermind creationism: feminism is the new "Jesus rode a Dinosaur"]
Pay inequality, anger management, sexual orientation and the dangers of pornography [porn is actually strongly correlated with a decrease in violence, sexual or otherwise, against women] will be among the topics explored by students in the programme, costing A$21.8m (£13.5m; $16.5m). [Gee that money was well spent. I think it would have been better spent on programs for Australian Aboriginal peoples. They have the highest rates of domestic violence in Australia -- not due to "toxic masculinity" -- but dispossession, poverty and despair. I think I just blew an intersectional feminist's mind.]
Edit two: Some people have pointed out that this is nothing new (though this takes it to the next level -- I would have assumed that Canadians, Brits or Swedes would have beaten you Aussie cunts to the feminist punch). As most boys who went to school during the 90's and after can attest, degrading and humiliating little boys is par for the course in modern "education" systems.
In this article (published in the Guardian no less), the novelist Dorris Lessing (herself a feminist!) condemns a "female culture that revels in humiliating the other sex."
"I was in a class of nine- and 10-year-olds, girls and boys, and this young woman was telling these kids that the reason for wars was the innately violent nature of men.
"You could see the little girls, fat with complacency and conceit while the little boys sat there crumpled, apologising for their existence, thinking this was going to be the pattern of their lives."
Lessing said the teacher tried to "catch my eye, thinking I would approve of this rubbish".
She added: "This kind of thing is happening in schools all over the place and no one says a thing.
"It has become a kind of religion that you can't criticise because then you become a traitor to the great cause, which I am not.
"It is time we began to ask who are these women who continually rubbish men. The most stupid, ill-educated and nasty woman can rubbish the nicest, kindest and most intelligent man and no one protests.
"Men seem to be so cowed that they can't fight back, and it is time they did."
