St Kevin’s College: Teacher offered counselling after boys take part in lewd TikTok challenge heraldsun.com.au/victoria-educa…

Have you experienced or witnessed sexism, misogyny or sexual harassment in an Australian school? We want to hear your story—anonymously. @SteveRoberts_ @Naomi_Pfitzner monash.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3Q…

Australian teachers: please share among colleagues. We hope to collect as many teacher stories as possible.

@MichaelGLFlood @ANROWS @VicHealth Yes, I love the changing the picture framework! I think though that we all need to be decolonised; Indigenous and settler approaches to gender-based violence would benefit from decolonisation: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/10…

@amandaMkeddie @ANROWS @VicHealth Indeed. And I would say that the factor above, socio-economic inequality and discrimination, speaks to these structures and their harms. Also see the dedicated Indigenous framework, "Changing the Picture", here: ourwatch.org.au/change-the-sto…

How are domestic and sexual violence shaped by practices, norms, and structures? There is a useful account of what shapes the likelihood of violence against women, in this report by @ANROWS and @VicHealth, pp. 24-30: ncas.anrows.org.au/wp-content/upl…

🚨Aus based teachers - please share with us your experience of sexism & your experience & observations of the implementation of Respectful Relationship Education curriculum. We will 💯 maintain your anonymity, of course👍🏾 @stephwescott_ @Naomi_Pfitzner monash.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3Q…

On Full Story today I speak to @joshgnosis about his blank phone experiment, and ⁦@stephwescott_⁩ about how social media is luring users into the Manosphere. theguardian.com/australia-news…

We’re excited to share this call for abstracts for our special issue of @gaejournal. See details below + get in touch with us if you have queries!

We unleashed Facebook and Instagram’s algorithms on blank accounts. They served up sexism and misogyny theguardian.com/technology/art…

🚨 CALL for abstracts for Special Issue of @gaejournal on ‘Manfluencers’, masculinities + misogyny in educational settings, guest edited by me & @stephwescott_ Pls share widely. Abstracts due 23/8. #gender #education #manosphere #sexism #schools #university #AcademicTwitter

😍🙌🏾 freezing cold, but a WICKED time with Nazeem Hussain recording for an @ABCaustralia doco in parenting, social media and the manosphere. #comedyheroes @MonashEducation @stephwescott_

From Andrew Tate to sharing intimate images and pornography, young men are critical consumers of online content. There is cause for concern about the harms of misogynistic content online. But there are also reasons to be optimistic about young men. Blog: blog.aare.edu.au/promising-news…

@SteveRoberts_ @stephwescott_ Thanks for sharing this, it resonates with my Teaching Boys book with Martin Mills 😊: routledge.com/Teaching-Boys-…

@amandaMkeddie @stephwescott_ Yes BIG agree - it’s really important! Again, absolutely aligns with my views & research focus to date. I did a whole bit on the preface + conclusion of my 2018 book about how this should be distinguished from ‘not all men’ ideas, and iş important for gender equality 👍🏾❤️

News flash: it is dangerous and irresponsible to imply that boys in toto have rejected Tate + the manosphere. Women teachers are suffering. Manfluencers are a symptom, yes, but also an amplifier and accelerant of misogyny. It is rife, it is brazen. #believewomen

@SteveRoberts_ @stephwescott_ I agree!!

@amandaMkeddie @stephwescott_ And, to underscore, my tweet here was explicitly saying that it’s problematic to say that boys as a collective have moved on.

@amandaMkeddie @stephwescott_ Not at all - counter narrative has been a focus of my masculinity work for a decade, so I’m hugely appreciative of the study. Some folks have read it to inadvertently suggest boys collectively are past Tate and others. Yet women teachers are emailing us near daily to tell us 1/2

@SteveRoberts_ @stephwescott_ Thanks Steven, our findings do not suggest young men are not influenced by Tate, they indicate a range of responses and engagements. I have also been keen over decades of work in this area to foreground potential educative spaces for gender justice. 1/2

@amandaMkeddie @stephwescott_ 2/2 about the elevation of misogyny and the connection to manosphere logics/ ideas. I am in agreement with you and Michael, as are the teachers, that it’s only a sig minority being into Tate but they make a huge difference.

Algorithms drive misogynistic content towards boys and young men and make extreme views seem normal - what role can parents play in challenging this? @stephwescott_ @MonashEducation theconversation.com/we-research-on…
