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.
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 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.

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 a whack as spitting for the industry owners. It’s all the same evil.
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.
