Is a ‘crisis of masculinity’ evident in UK secondary student attitudes towards gender equality, gender stereotypes and sexual harassment?

Letter in JECH from Prof Kirstin Mitchell & the Equally Safe at School team picked up by The Times & BBC today.

New article in Social Theory & Health, co-authored with
@judegreen.bsky.social, open access.

Worried about how Meta's new moderation policies will impact online sexual and reproductive health promotion? So am I! This piece is co-authored with my expert colleague & HDR student Joanna Williams: theconversation.com/metas-shift-...
Meta’s shift to ‘community notes’ risks hurting online health info providers more than ever
Between allowing more “free speech” and removing official fact-checking, Meta’s platforms risk becoming more hostile to public health organisations.

Hi Bluesky! I wrote for @pillowtalkscot.bsky.social on the pain experienced during coil (IUD) fittings, removal and use, and the changes to reproductive healthcare contraceptive users in Scotland would like to see 1/2 pillowtalkscotland.substack.com/p/contracept...
‘It almost felt a bit barbaric’: Scottish contraceptive coil users speak out about pain
How much pain is ‘normal’ during a coil fitting? In Scotland, patients share their experiences of dismissed suffering and demand better from reproductive healthcare
