    Between your school and Balders', I am really worried about the state of education over there

      This website highlights how bad things are. It's not the incidents that shock me, they are truly awful of course, but the scale.

      This is happening regularly in almost every school, even in primary education settings. And it's become normal and accepted. When female students speak up, almost always to a female teacher, they are told sadly it happens here and to get used to it.

      As it says, it's a culture.

      Here's another example, this happened in a top set class, a female student is giving an answer and a boy shouts out, shut up or I'm going to rape you. Everyone hears this, the teacher says that's a warning. That's it. So I've checked the behaviour system and no warning was even given. The female student doesn't want to name the student because she doesn't want to get him in trouble so I have a little dig. 8 boys in the class, 1 is absent, 1 sits next to her and 1 is do quiet he's never been known to shout. I take the evidence to the teacher. Nothing.

      And this is happening in most schools.

      We ask students to speak up then either do nothing or do not protect them when they do. Much like in society as a whole.

          I thought this was very good.

          I'll be showing it in school on Monday.

            So many places to put this. Arrests have been made over the drug spiking.

              Misogyny is OK but paying 10p not a pound for Jaffa Cakes isn't.

                Here's a thread on the brutal medical gatekeeping visited on cis women and other uterus owners. Content Warning for heartbreaking and enraging stories of maltreatment.

                  This came up in a class I taught this week. White student's mother wanted her ovaries removed due to multiple cysts: doctor refused because she is still of childbearing age. Black student's 19-year-old sister has already had an ovary removed "on doctor's advice". It's misogyny plus racism.

                    “It’s the culture” is somewhere between begging the question and a tautology.

                    We need more understanding of the specific assumptions and beliefs that create that behavior.

                    I thought I did but I don’t.

                      There's certainly misogyny in the white student's treatment and whilst not doubting that there is a racist element to the type of medical care people - especially women - get (it having been well established by lots of research obvs) Satchmo's anecdote doesn't betray that this happened in this case this unless we know whether ovary removal was a legitimate and sensible treatment for the the medical condition the black student's sister had; it may be a case of good diagnosis, good treatment, sad outcome rather than good diagnosis, terrible treatment, terrible outcome.

                        Nadine Dorries says groping couldn't have happened because Johnson senior is a nice guy.

                          Hasn't a spokesperson since "clarified" that when Dorries said "I don't believe it happened", she didn't mean she doesn't believe it happened?

                              It's not a U-turn though is it? It's just having someone lie for you. In a way that the media is happy to pretend isn't lying.

                                I agree. She's trying to present it as such and the media are complicit. As usual.

                                  I wonder if she'll believe this?
