'Andrew Tate phenomena' surges in schools - with boys refusing to talk to female teacher
Online influencers such as Andrew Tate are fuelling an increase in sexism in the classroom, says a new survey from education union the NASUWT. It comes after the Netflix series Adolescence thrust concerns around incel culture into the spotlight.
Summary
Social media influencers are fuelling a rise in misogyny and sexism in the UK's classrooms, according to teachers.
More than 5,800 teachers were polled... and nearly three in five (59%) said they believe social media use has contributed to a deterioration in pupils' behaviour.
One teacher said she'd had 10-year-old boys "refuse to speak to [her]...because [she is] a woman". Another said "the Andrew Tate phenomena had a huge impact on how [pupils] interacted with females and males they did not see as 'masculine'".
"There is an urgent need for concerted action... to safeguard all children and young people from the dangerous influence of far-right populists and extremists."

Parents need to raise their children and stop letting social media do it.
Except social media raised the current parents of the Day. It's been 20 years dude. People don't know any different.
Hm yea I guess so. I’m at the age where I grew up without it for a portion of time and then dealt with it in my teens. I never really used it that much though, and don’t use it all now, except for sites like these.
I grew up on hip-hop music. I still am addicted to it... But damn that culture is awful. Most regular people think it's just entertainment and art.... But that culture is deep and evil. I get disgusted with myself after listening to "real rap". I understand and feel it but at the same time feel as though I'm nurturing a negative part of my soul when I listen to it or celebrate it.
I guess I related your comment to music raising me in the 90s and 00s.
I’ve had that realization a few times. I’ve been listening to rap music enjoying the beat, and then my brain shifts focus to the words, and I end up turning it off.
I didn't really grow up listening to rap (as I grew up listening to all different kinds of music) but imo "real rap" is more like poetry and has a message or story to tell.
Children's Story by Slick Rick Literally anything by Digable Planets Most of Q-Tip and ATCQ's stuff
There are others, but that's all I can think of off the top of my head right now.
That's what I used to think to until I got deeper into it. The problem is that when I got deeper into knowing the scene "real" rap turned into real crime.
One of my favorite lyrics about hiphop;
"I used love her, but then they kidnapped her, Dragged her through the mud and shaved the fuckin hair off her."
Whether it's mainstream or street, it gets hunted until it can be monetized legally or illegally. Sure there are exceptions though.
Spitting for a click/gang is just as whack as spitting for the industry owners. It's all the same evil.
Brother Ali is great example of someone that stayed authentically true and matured as human being. Listen to his first album, and then listen to satisfied soul.
What if their parents are shitty and encouraging this type of behavior?
The Andrew tate type people tend to have kids because they want sex and that's all they think about. They don't think critically about contraception, or long term decision making. Then they either abandon the child/mother, or raise it to be an asshole.
You’re not wrong. Parents can be contributing just as much to the problem. I guess the only common source would be social media in general.
Ironically jokes about the internet raising children is very old. There was a comic strip in Mad Magazine from the late 90s that had a boy go ask his mom 'mom, if God made everything, who made God?' She replies to go ask his dad, and when he does his dad replies, ' go ask the internet!'
It is still funny, but given the incredible amount of disinformation out there it just is a really bad idea.
For sure. It’s too much to keep up with, and now, it’s getting harder to tell what’s real or not.
