In Britain and elsewhere, too many men and boys are being ostracised, with tragic results for both sexes
We need to talk about boys and men. For there is a growing crisis of masculinity in Britain, and – by tackling only the symptoms and not the causes – we risk making it worse.
In recent months, following the arrest of British-American social media personality Andrew Tate, stories about misogynistic misconduct by police officers, and concerns about sexism among schoolboys, the crisis of masculinity has gained increased prominence. And Labour, which had already attempted to make misogyny a hate crime, sees a political opportunity. Keir Starmer has pledged to halve violence against women – without saying how – and promised to add lessons on treating girls and women with respect to the school curriculum.
Keep your children away from public schools if you can at all avoid them.
