Chronicling the ongoing intersectional struggle to liberate women — inclusively defined as the legacy kind and the transgenders — from The Patriarchy™, one microaggression at a time.
British schoolboys treated to struggle sessions, institutionalized snitching, and all-male cooking classes to combat toxic manosphere influence
If you, for whatever masochistic reason, regularly peruse leftist rags across the pond like The Guardian or the BBC, as I do, you’ll find that they’re positively obsessed with the highly fictionalized “based on a true story” mini-series called Adolescence, the takeaway being that (white) British boys’ misogyny — which essentially sprung out of nowhere and is no way related to the brutal gynocracy they’ve bathed in their entire lives — is out of control and needs to be stopped at all costs.

So impressed were the governing authorities with Adolescence that they essentially mandated its viewing in all British secondary schools.
Via Associated Press (emphasis added):
The makers of hit Netflix show “Adolescence ” have sparked a conversation in Britain and beyond on how to protect children from violent misogyny and other harmful content on social media.
Now they have the ear of British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who welcomed the filmmakers to Downing Street on Monday for talks on child protection. Starmer’s office said he backed an initiative by Netflix to stream the drama series for free to secondary schools across the country, so that as many teens as possible can watch it.
The show, filmed in England, explores the difficult questions that arise when a 13-year-old boy is accused of the fatal stabbing of a girl in his school — and how much social media interactions that are largely impenetrable to parents and teachers may have played a part.
Netflix says since the drama launched in March it has amassed 66.3 million views worldwide and has become one of the most talked-about U.K. series in recent memory.
Starmer said it was difficult watching the drama with his 14-year-old daughter and 16-year-old son. But showing the drama widely in schools will “help students better understand the impact of misogyny, dangers of online radicalization and the importance of healthy relationships,” his office said.

Anyway, the government, having equipped itself with the justification to crack down even harder on (white) boys in the school system on the basis of a fictional mini-series, has devised a multi-faceted scheme to further demoralize the (white) British schoolboys entrusted to their care.Via BBC (emphasis added):
When hard-hitting British drama Adolescence was first screened last year, it was lauded as a TV masterpiece
Netflix subsequently made it free to watch for classes in secondary schools, and the prime minister said it had "lit a touch paper" for discussions about social media, misogyny and the so-called manosphere.
For many schools, it opened up a Pandora's box of challenges, but one school in Essex was ahead of the game.
In February last year, Ofsted rated Chase High School in Southend-on-Sea as inadequate and placed it in special measures.
The report made for very uncomfortable reading.
"Pupils regularly experience bullying, racial, sexual and homophobic discrimination," inspectors wrote.
Girls were "routinely discriminated against" by boys; staff did not always intervene; and "too many pupils" would "suffer in silence", including after experiencing sexual harassment.
However, before the report was published, staff got to work.

The strategy to fix the (white) boys, devised by a female assistant head teacher — because no one understands how to win the hearts and minds of adolescent boys better than middle-aged female government bureaucrats — includes:
- A designated snitching box where the children are encouraged to record and report problematic behavior
- Struggle sessions with “local council-approved male mentors”
- Cooking classes exclusively for boys
- A “three-week festival celebrating women and girls, which included creating a mural”
Three weeks!

Assistant head teacher Lauren Hedges said the school was "ahead of the game" when Adolescence was released in March last year.
The four-part series followed a 13-year-old boy accused of murdering a girl at his school, against a backdrop of so-called toxic masculinity being spread online.
"[Adolescence] was a phenomenal piece of television. I was very much a fan and it was so good because it highlighted to parents what could be happening in the home," said Hedges.
"[But] we were already working on it; we were already very much in it…
Hedges started at the school in January 2024, becoming its lead on behaviour and culture.
There was no manual for tackling misogyny, so she turned to external consultants.
She and colleagues put together training on spotting the signs – what was trending online – and rolled it out to all staff, including caterers and cleaners…
The school set up an anonymous "tell-us" system, in which pupils could write down concerning behaviour they had witnessed on a postcard and place it in a postbox.
Boys most at risk of being exposed to domestic violence were introduced to focussed talking groups and local council-approved male mentors came to speak to these students.
For International Women's Day, the school collected 600 daffodils, which pupils were encouraged to give to girls and women in their lives they wanted to celebrate…
Its fortnight-long boys' cooking club proved a big hit.
"To go into a kitchen at 3:15 every afternoon for two weeks, and see 20 young men with their aprons on, making their pasta, cutting up their chicken, and they could tell you who they were making it for, why they were making it for them - that is special. That was really poignant."
This year, they put together a three-week festival celebrating women and girls, which included creating a mural.
