Even before the misogynists were ‘back in charge’, their influence on boys’ behaviour towards women in schools was grotesque. For more: See this article by Steph Wescott, Xuenan Zhao & me about Aussie women teachers experience of Andrew Tate-inspired sexism

The problem of anti-feminist ‘manfluencer’ Andrew Tate in Australian schools: women teachers’ experiences of resurgent male supremacy
There is growing visibility of online ‘manfluencers’ who espouse extreme masculine ideals and share them with their audiences of boys and young men. Taking this phenomenon as a launch-pad, we join ...

'Understanding the appeal of figures like Andrew Tate requires moving beyond surface-level explanations that blame feminist discourse for alienating boys and young men.'

Andrew Tate’s appeal to young men has nothing to do with toxic masculinity
As Andrew Tate launches a political party, Tate’s appeal lies in his skilful manipulation of genuine issues, such as economic hardships, and his ability to frame these issues as consequences of femini...

1. A box a teenager checked on a form 20 years ago (that was accurate) isn’t newsworthy.
2. The source clearly had political motives and you hid that.
3. One the byline reporters on the “story” is an avid follower of an open white supremacist.
4. Pictures of tweets? Really? You that lazy?

“The real work lies in moving past old scripts and moral panics, and towards a more thoughtful, inclusive approach to gender justice.” @steven-d-roberts.bsky.social

The discourse of masculinity as “in crisis” is deeply problematic.

Recycled panic: The long history of worrying about boys and men
Across media and politics, claims of a “masculinity crisis” are rising. But is this new or just history repeating? A deeper look at boys, men, and cultural change.

A Muslim son of immigrants, backed by and backing Black and Jewish leaders, rising in NYC politics isn’t just coalition-building, it’s the American promise realized. It terrifies bigots precisely because it works. Diverse power-sharing isn’t a threat, it’s the future. So New York. So necessary.

nice life news: I am rejoining the Faculty of Arts at Monash Uni, as Professor of Sociology from September.
Mixed emosh: the collaborations & friendships I’ve made in 3.5 years in Edu have been rewarding and transformative.
But, I am *really* excited to return 'home' to School of Social Sciences.

New from @drstephaniewescott.bsky.social & me in Critical Education Studies. We advance SRGBV as an essential classifying, clarifying and categorising concept to encapsulate gendered abuse, misogyny, sexual harassment and sexism experienced by women, girls and non-binary young people in schools.

Why is environmentalism class divided?

My new paper in The British Journal of Sociology maps attitudes to green issues in the social space of economic and cultural capital. Spoiler: it’s not just about being rich.

Young men have more advice and potential role models at their fingertips than at any point in history.

The ones choosing misogynist grifters are doing so because "you are an aggrieved little Viking prince who is being cheated out of his rape and pillage" is the easy message, not the only one.
