Black voices are tired of doing the work and it's time for white voices to do the right thing and from an *educated* standpoint)</p><p>So why do men assault, rape, murder? Its NOT bc women are asking for it; NOT bc their skirts are too long/short/tight/loose; NOT bc they're in the "wrong" place. Men have to take a good look at why some male attitudes are prevalent and entrenched. And disturbingly at incredibly young ages. There would be no rape/murder but for rapists and murderers. </p><p>I taught secondary (11-18yr olds) for 40yrs and i can say the attitudes are entrenched by 11yrs. Its incredibly hard to shift after that - not impossible but V V V hard. We used to inherit boys with attitude and it hadn't come from the primary schools either. It comes from (a) home and (b) reinforced from each other. </p><p>(a) is about what is seen heard taught and modelled at home. Think about: boys will be boys, boys don't cry, the toys given to boys, the activities assigned to and choices made by boys and reinforced by dad AND MUM. <br>(b) is about how boys interact at school and home incl older brothers/ cousins and NEGATIVE talk towards sisters and females. It's also massively about internet communication, influencers, chat rooms, gaming and monsters like Andrew Tate grooming kids + teens. It's about images in media, films, sport, music, memes. </p><p>My daughter works in youth justice: she deals with kids caught up in crime and EVERY SINGLE ONE comes from a dysfunctional family (alcohol drugs gambling or mental physical emotional abuse) across generations, so it's learnt. <br>She said rather than walking on marches, parents should be at home supervising what their kids are gaming or connecting to online in chat rooms bc there is a LOT off radicalisation and grooming happening from dangerous men. Parents should be focusing on good health, good physicality, good mindsets + resilience and good food.</p><p> Some things have always been a problem for millennia but the internet and social media since smart phones has triggered the rot.</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/violenceagainstwomen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>violenceagainstwomen</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/media" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>media</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/socialmedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>socialmedia</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/WomenLifeFreedom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WomenLifeFreedom</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/toxicmaleculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>toxicmaleculture</span></a></p>
