N2  -  What is already known about this topic:

    (1) Sexism and sexual harassment are longstanding issues in schools, identified by decades of research.

    (2) Young people who view social media masculinity ‘influencer’ content are more likely to normalise controlling and other harmful behaviours.

    (3) Narrow and limiting social constructions of masculinity are harmful for boys and young men’s mental and general health.

What this topic adds:

    (1) Content by the most prominent masculinity influencer, Andrew Tate, has infiltrated classrooms across Australia; his tropes, quotes and ideas are invoked regularly by students.

    (2) Women teachers report a noticeable shift in boys’ behaviour and attitudes towards women and girls that they attribute to Tate’s influence.

    (3) Women teachers need greater support from school leadership to address boys’ concerning attitudes and behaviour to make their workplace safe. (From the website). Record #8626
