It’s policing her clothes, and her body. It’s too common in primary, asking girls not to show their knickers… what’s the uniform policy like - can she wear school shorts, can the boys wear skirts / dresses?

Weird but normalised. If society think that 6yr old girls legs or knickers are indecent & inappropriate, why do school uniform policies suggest skirts or dresses for 6yr old girls? Should 6yr old girls learn early to limit themselves, manage their body, be self conscious about...

When faced with misogyny in the headlines teachers and parents always ask:
"How do I talk to the boys in my life about sexual violence?"
You don't. You don't start there. If you want to have an actual conversation that works, it has to begin somewhere else. 🧵

"she realised it was good news – these were men who hadn’t grown up with equal-partner fathers... If they had willingly taken on half the domestic load, without seeing that as normal while growing up, then so could other men." @GenderDiary @MumsnetTowers

Its been 5 years since #nomoreboysandgirls aired. How far have we come with gender equality in schools? Should @Outline_TV follow this up in another school and see what the impact has been? @DrJavidA @Jeremy_S_D @HelenVeale @GECCollect @GFNScotland @GenderDiary @ginarippon1

“Been running into dads of my 3 [-year-old’s] classmates and asking for their emails for his birthday party,” she wrote. “So far three out of three dads have proceeded to give me their wives’ emails instead. This is now a social experiment.”

The idea that women are just innately better at Google calendars and unending group texts is silly. You learn to manage it because you have to.
With the school year approaching, here's how to make your inboxes and texts more equitable this year: huffpost.com/entry/dads-stop…

It’s worth school staff being aware of the name Andrew Tate at the start of the new school year. With 11 Billion views on TikTok he is spouting dangerous misogynistic and homophobic abuse daily & some of his views are from boys as young as 13.
