"Researchers have been reporting a disturbing rise in sexist, misogynist
behaviour from students in school classrooms.

This includes Australian studies which show how the extreme views of the
“manosphere” (online anti-women and anti-women’s empowerment communities) have
infiltrated schools.

Last year, my colleagues and I reported on abusive behaviour of male students
towards their teachers. This included students using language such as “slut” or
describing women as “rapeable”. It also included reports of male students
working in groups to physically intimidate female students and staff.

What is happening in Australian universities?"
