UK: Schools to give boys anti-misogyny lessons to stop toxic masculinity in wake of Netflix hit Adolescence

AnFGhoster · 2025-03-23T11:28:04+00:00

Ah yes, let's make the problem worse! That'll solve things!

PsyonicDragoon · 2025-03-23T11:50:38+00:00

Wonder when anti misandry lessons will be taught

asaxonbraxton · 2025-03-23T11:35:32+00:00

So they’re giving boys “anti misogyny lessons” because of a make-believe tv show?

PurpleSpark8 · 2025-03-23T11:44:30+00:00

Ah yes.. men/boys bad, as usual. It's ridiculous how much this 'show' has been in the news.

gaut80 · 2025-03-23T11:46:07+00:00

UK becoming officially the worst country for the male population.

ANobodyNamedJames · 2025-03-23T12:03:58+00:00

How about "be kind to each other" lessons, as opposed to specifically "villainizing males" lessons?

HonestRevolution7055 · 2025-03-23T12:05:30+00:00

Adding fuel to the fire.

These clowns don’t have a clue. This will only push boys further away. The education system is redundant, anyways~ and doesn’t help boys in the way they need.

Fucking useless tools

enragedCircle · 2025-03-23T11:38:27+00:00

This is bizarre. This is a made-up TV show. Since when has a government wanted, or even being able to suggest making legislation off the back of a fictional story? I mean, an actually known fiction?

East_Meeting_667 · 2025-03-23T11:49:17+00:00

Is their really no question as to why their is a backlash in the first place? What do they think changed? The boys keep being told they are the problem because women want to act one way but be treated another.

SarcasticallyCandour · 2025-03-23T14:55:10+00:00

This is why the problem exists in the first place. The demonization of boys and men is causing boys to turn to these fake influencers.

How about boy positive lessons like role models and places to talk about male suicide, body image issues, help in education, fatherlessness etc.

This is just feminists wanting boys to shut up questioning thibgs like girl only educational programmes, female obly scholarships, fast-tracking, female preferences in hiring and lowered entry standards for police, fireservices . And to stop boys questioning DEI where white women in HR promote each other on female quotas.

SparkLabReal · 2025-03-23T12:48:22+00:00

I like how both genders are victims in this story and the first priority is "the poor GIIRLSS!"

loveisdead9582 · 2025-03-23T14:32:15+00:00

Cool. Where’s the misandry class

Rocketronic0 · 2025-03-23T11:37:52+00:00

It will not work. Education system is quite the dinosaur when everyone has all the access to internet.

walterwallcarpet · 2025-03-23T11:41:55+00:00

Reality check on the motivations and MO of the writers, right here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2tU7tyceAM

32Bleach_Drinker64 · 2025-03-23T15:03:48+00:00

Is this that thing where it was a black kid that did it but they race swapped it to be a white kid?

The_SHUN · 2025-03-23T14:25:32+00:00

It’s always the men’s problems I see, never the system’s fault

ralphswanson · 2025-03-23T16:52:44+00:00

'They willingly trick young men into believing that success is measured by money or dominance, that strength means never showing emotion, and that the world, including women, is against them.'

I never listened to Andrew Tate but his critics make no sense to me. Society, including girls, do rate men using money and power. That is hardly something Tate invented. Perhaps we should counter that by teaching that everyone, even men, should be valued and that other criteria should be used for evaluating desirability of men. Note that many poor, powerless women are still highly desirable.

The whole world does appear to be against poor men without social skills. Correcting that, rather than adding to the misandry in society, would be a better step to move forward.

Goltack · 2025-03-23T11:44:10+00:00

Emergency-Thanks-324 · 2025-03-23T11:50:48+00:00

ABSOLUTE DISCRACE

WeEatBabies · 2025-03-23T14:25:34+00:00

Good, now also give toxic femininity lessons to prevent feminism become entrenched in academia and politics!

king_rootin_tootin · 2025-03-23T17:06:50+00:00

Question: are they ever going to make a film,. streaming or otherwise, about the sexual abuse of boys by women teachers and then give boys lessons teaching them that they too deserve respect and that older people shouldn't be touching them?

I won't hold my breath on that one..

Remote_Purpose_4323 · 2025-03-23T17:11:37+00:00

So they want to shame boys right from the schools. How about anti misandry lessons for girls?

mrmensplights · 2025-03-23T17:51:13+00:00

Why the fuck are school curriculums changing because of some random fictional Netflix show? What kind of idiocracy bullshit is this?

They've created an hysterical narrative about boys and men, and they are using a random fictional show to confirm their biases and go all in like they discovered some kind of evidence. Insanity.

Polyfluorite · 2025-03-23T21:27:47+00:00

Toxic femininity is what needs to be discussed

yyyyyyyyyyyioa · 2025-03-23T19:15:15+00:00

They should obviously be teaching anti-sexsm not just misogyny

WanabeInflatable · 2025-03-23T13:42:34+00:00

Yet another peak delusion

Modern_Ketchup · 2025-03-23T15:55:30+00:00

Yikes… punishing boys who did nothing wrong. Going to make boys hyper sensitive to women and afraid to do anything for fear of rape or repercussions. my gf of 4 years and my my last ex, were all over me yet upset i could never initiate anything. they would never tell me “yes” but expected me to know they “wanted it”? i respect them but holy shit a girl i never even hungout with before said i raped her in HS before I even had my first kiss…

Ok-Time5668 · 2025-03-23T11:44:09+00:00

😹

pyr0phelia · 2025-03-23T17:19:58+00:00

🤮 Yes let’s keep treating men as if they were born with sin. Let’s see how that works out.

adam-l · 2025-03-23T13:52:32+00:00

This is an incitive show.

It purports to play for the Woke the same role that the fire of the Reichstag did for the Nazis.

ThrowWideTheGates · 2025-03-23T21:46:37+00:00

I’m sure demoralizing boys even further and seeing how much society caters to girls will surely force them to be feminists

NibblyPig · 2025-03-23T20:40:21+00:00

Psychological castration is what they want.

Might as well cut young boys balls off, a lot quicker and cheaper to get what they want.

AbysmalDescent · 2025-03-23T21:16:05+00:00

So, misandric producers release sexist propaganda against men/boys in a fictional television series, and people use this as a justification for more sexist behavior and vilification/disenfranchisement of boys, which could only create or legitimize more misandry and sexist propaganda against men/boys. Actually insane.

theCourtofJames · 2025-03-23T12:07:44+00:00

The government is completely missing the point of the show.

It's not aimed at the kids and the kids won't learn anything. The show is about how little boys are being neglected by both parents and teachers. Focus the education on them.

gmnotyet · 2025-03-23T15:37:52+00:00

They are just DETERMINED to drive these boys into the arms of Andrew Tate, aren't they?

I wonder if Tate is paying these people a kickback.

jessi387 · 2025-03-23T19:03:54+00:00

And this will make the problem 10000x worse.

It will only drive them further into the arms of people who will radicalize them. Keep suppressing them and it will keep metastasizing .

Reasonable_Elk3267 · 2025-03-23T16:30:23+00:00

Maybe they could also give black kids lessons on how to treat white people, going off of Birth Of A Nation.

Akhenath · 2025-03-23T18:19:00+00:00

Nobody mentions the bullying before he snapped. What about anti bullying classed then?!

RandomYT05 · 2025-03-23T21:28:06+00:00

Like this wont backfire. Let's consider encouraging children to skip this class out of protest. Mass walkout type deal.

ArtifactFan65 · 2025-03-23T22:35:22+00:00

Why do the left want conservatives to win so badly lmao they are basically giving them free election wins in every country.

Winter-Gur-9762 · 2025-03-23T17:13:12+00:00

Andrew tate really pissed ppl off lmao

Disastrous_Average91 · 2025-03-23T17:50:42+00:00

Maybe actually care about boys and stop isolating them and making them feel like monsters? This will only make things worse imo

Plenty_Preference296 · 2025-03-23T14:46:21+00:00

What a joke.

Norfolt · 2025-03-23T19:31:11+00:00

Average UK clownery

Jostrapenko2 · 2025-03-24T06:18:14+00:00

So this is just another case of 'men bad/women good' propaganda being pushed forward by the gynocentric west.

Jersey_Suks · 2025-03-24T14:53:31+00:00

This isn't anti misogyny lessons it's indoctrination to stop future opposition to the feminist movement.

MaximumTangerine5662 · 2025-03-23T11:48:54+00:00

If the pipeline exists schools need to be doing something more prominent instead of sweeping it under the rug. How would the boy in the movie benefit from that talk? Zero. Huge likely to radicalize him further and make him hate the school, and besides I doubt schools would be good at those speeches (getting a random person to come along for an assembly or something equally non-memorable.).

Ok-Consideration8724 · 2025-03-24T20:13:18+00:00

You know, every time they come up with shit like this I say how grateful I am to live in the US.

Is there a class like this for girls? To teach girls how to be better girls? Genuinely I don’t know. Like are girls in the UK taught that instagram and porn aren’t real? Like girls kill themselves because they can’t be instagram or OF models like other girls can.

This is just sexism that’s accepted as reality. I’m not saying Andrew Tate is a role model, but fuck man not every right wing influencer is an incel dick bag.

This show is good in terms of acting and directing, but it’s just another man hating show that isn’t focused on real issues.

Plus I thought England banned a lot of knives, so how much further do they need to go to stop these mass stabbings? Ban assault knives? I’m sorta joking, but with the current regime I’m not sure it’s an actual joke.

NicomoCoscaTFL · 2025-03-23T13:30:59+00:00

Fuck.off.

LimpDickRick_01 · 2025-03-23T15:58:36+00:00

Imagine being a parent in the UK and being unable to stand up for your child, fearing you'll be thrown in jail for going against the grain. Thank god I live in the good ole USA.

avjayarathne · 2025-03-23T14:00:06+00:00

That'll make them believe Tate or whoever even more with conspiracy theories of school trying to be over protective for girls while brainwashing boys. way to go uk *sigh*

Balages · 2025-03-23T17:17:34+00:00

Yeah thats what kids need: more class/ lessons

truth-informant · 2025-03-24T14:16:25+00:00

I'm pretty sure this will have the exact opposite effect as intended.

New_World_2050 · 2025-03-25T00:29:00+00:00

Sometimes I wonder who the fuck is even calling the shots. Are there people at school boards just saying things like "let's give boys anti misogyny lessons" or are people being paid by idealogues to shift culture.

XavierMalory · 2025-03-26T02:42:26+00:00

“A child who is scorned by the village will burn it down to feel it’s warmth.”

Meanwhile, UK schools to boys:

”Torches! Get your free pre-lit torches right here!”

Aggressive-Bad-7761 · 2025-03-23T14:19:04+00:00

HAHAHAHA im a busy guy so dont get up to too much streaming but I watched the trailer.. freaking funny. “80% of women are only attracted to the top 20% of men.. so you have to trick them” — they had it be a boy who kills her and not at least some 19 year old in his moms basement?? unbelievable.

Sufficient_Button363 · 2025-03-23T19:12:46+00:00

I wonder how many posters here have seen it? It's quite well balanced actually, ok its about boy kills girl but it's all about the impact on the boys family, nothing about the girls and it dozzz touch upon the pressures put on young men through SM abuse.

gmnotyet · 2025-03-23T19:36:22+00:00

The UK is what a feminized society looks like.

But this will change when Sharia becomes law in a few decades.

When the Islamists take over, the Left will be BEGGING for the good old days of Andrew Tate.

And it will be too late.

AvailableAd1232 · 2025-03-23T11:44:34+00:00

They need andrew tate as PM.

suks13 · 2025-03-24T23:56:01+00:00

Got the last episode to watch so maybe should reserve judgement but this cannot be the upshot of it 🤦‍♂️

_Name__Unknown_ · 2025-03-25T21:23:55+00:00

Women are misogynistic all the time.

random_sm · 2025-03-28T07:05:45+00:00

Yes! Calling boys toxic will certainly stop Tate. These people know teenagers very well.

ReceptionInformal749 · 2025-03-23T15:17:29+00:00

Killing someone because u get bullied is bad, we should treat verbally to girls as bad as how boys are treated let's see if they control themselves from stabbing us. No more putting entitled, overrated af,stinking creatures in pedestals

Mefic_vest · 2025-03-24T00:08:45+00:00

How about just giving them opportunities to thrive and succeed at being what women demand them to be? That alone would eliminate the vast majority of “misogyny” out there.

xlerv8 · 2025-03-24T12:18:35+00:00

I love how Netflix cast a person that has nothing to do with the modern crime statistics in the UK. Netflix is too woke for me. Just look at all the grape 🍇 crime statistics and who's committing them!

NumerousImprovements · 2025-03-25T06:55:41+00:00

Looks like it’s one part of a wider initiative. Which sounds overall like a good thing. Kids shouldn’t be on social media, especially nowadays. The social media I grew up with is vastly different to what kids are exposed to nowadays, and kids are stupid. They’re impressionable, they want to copy and emulate what they see online, they have no critical thinking skills yet. They’re full of hormones and absent of common sense. Both genders are.

Classes that help deal with the real world is something I’ve thought schools should have for a long time, and this doesn’t seem like a horrible thing.

For example, is misogyny something we want to see more of? Of course not. This aims to help reduce that, and people are upset because… why? It doesn’t also include the much rarer misandry? This title is not all that accurate.

Fragrant-Resist4230 · 2025-03-23T12:25:19+00:00

It’s honestly exhausting how men completely miss the point of Adolescence and reduce it to just being about bullying when it’s actually a full-on critique of red-pill ideology, misogyny, and toxic masculinity. Like, how do you watch this show, see the way these harmful beliefs develop and spread, and then just go, “Oh, it’s about how bullying is bad”? No, it’s about how young men, instead of healthily processing their pain, get sucked into a cycle of blaming women, rejecting empathy, and adopting a toxic mindset that ruins their own lives and the lives of those around them.

It’s wild because the show literally lays out how these ideologies take advantage of vulnerable young men—how they’re manipulated into thinking that their struggles are women’s fault instead of looking inward or questioning the structures that actually oppress them. It shows how red-pill rhetoric isn’t about “helping” men but about making them angrier, more isolated, and more resentful, feeding them the lie that domination and control equal strength. And yet, so many guys watch it and completely ignore that.

At this point, it’s just depressing how allergic some men are to any kind of critical thinking when it comes to media that challenges their worldview. Like, I’m begging them to engage with even one layer of nuance. The show isn’t just about bullying. It’s about the insidious ways toxic masculinity warps young men’s perspectives and how red-pill ideology preys on that insecurity. But of course, that’s too much to ask. 😤

And no, women are not pushing an agenda to make all women hate men. Men are doing that on their own by being total dicks to women. Women are just responding to their actions.

And no, this is not "propaganda." A woman is killed by a man every 3 days in the UK.

UK: Schools to give boys anti-misogyny lessons to stop toxic masculinity in wake of Netflix hit Adolescence

What makes something systemic?

Is there a threshold of individuals before something becomes systemic?

If hate or disdain is shown in media or reporting, is it systemic?

If governments are mostly composed of one gender, is that systemic?

Does voting for/against certain things regardless of gender make it systemic?

Does having government agencies or departments focused on one gender’s issues make it systemic?

Does having laws that differ based on gender make it systemic?

What would a fully misandristic (anti-male) system look like?
