GOVERNMENT HAS UNVEILED NEW MEASURES TO COMBAT SPREAD OF SEXIST ONLINE CONTENT

'Anti-misogyny' lessons in schools

CHILDREN will be taught how to combat misogyny and resist so-called incel culture under new guidance for schools published on Tuesday.

The guidance on relationships, sex and health education (RSHE) focuses on helping boys find positive role models amid the increasing spread of sexist online content from “manosphere” influencers such as Andrew Tate.

It also stresses the need to avoid “stigmatising boys for being boys”.

As well as lessons on so-called incel (involuntary celibate) culture, secondary schools will be required to provide young people with greater awareness of AI, deepfakes and links between pornography and misogyny.

The guidance comes as the Department for Education (DfE) warned that misogynistic attitudes had reached “epidemic scale” among young people, with 54% of those aged 11-19 saying they had witnessed misogynist comments.
