Episode Details

Teachers are sounding the alarm as gendered violence and misogynistic attitudes surge in schools, with 78% reporting firsthand exposure — fueled by toxic online content that’s reshaping young minds. Boys face pressure to conform to rigid, harmful definitions of masculinity, making it harder for them to seek help, while girls grow quieter and withdrawn. Educators are being trained to confront these behaviors without vilifying masculinity itself, instead fostering open dialogue about strength, resilience, and emotional health as universal traits. Programs like The Men’s Project are stepping in with teacher training and community outreach, aiming to build healthy masculinity and equality — and they’re turning to parents, too, through workplaces and community hubs, hoping to scale their impact across more schools and neighborhoods.
