Teachers describe a deterioration in behaviour and attitudes that has proved to be fertile terrain for misogynistic influencers
“As soon as I mention feminism, you can feel the shift in the room; they’re shuffling in their seats.” Mike Nicholson holds workshops with teenage boys about the challenges of impending manhood. Standing up for the sisterhood, it seems, is the last thing on their minds.
When Nicholson says he is a feminist himself, “I can see them look at me, like, ‘I used to like you.’”
Once Nicholson, whose programme is called Progressive Masculinity, unpacks the fact that feminism means equal rights and opportunities for women, many of the boys with whom he works are won over.
“A lot of it is bred from misunderstanding and how the word is smeared,” he says.
But he is battling against what he calls a “dominance-based model” of masculinity. “These old-fashioned, regressive ideas are having a renaissance, through your masculinity influencers – your grifters, like Andrew Tate.”
All I see is a whole lot of pandering toward people who don’t like feminism because they don’t want to admit men are largely responsible for a lot of problems in the world.
And I’m sure some of you dumbasses will prove my point by trying to argue with me about it in the comments. I’m not gonna capitulate to the same people who largely ruined life for everyone for the existence of our species just so women can get the rights they were entitled to in the first place, nor will I give you the fight that you want.
Yes, you probably did find the feminazi they’re denigrating. I don’t care. Those feminazis are right.
Woah there megalia 🤏, calm down.
Dumbass #1 proving me right ☝️
See how he only responds with an insult hoping to goad me into a shit fight? This is what men do when anyone tells them the truth about how they really are. Because men are the problem and they know it.
