An army of “masculinity experts” are going into our schools, to provide tax-funded, exorbitantly expensive lessons under the promise to exorcise our boys of their toxic masculinity, and/or misogyny. I was a boy once. And I 100% agree, a lot can be done to show our boys how to foster respectful, platonic relationships with girls. Now more than ever, that divide needs to be healed. But those who roll into schools with their “workshops”, often charging thousands of pounds, should be viewed with serious levels of skepticism, for they often leave the job half done. And that is – Nothing is done to teach girls to be similarly respectful of boys, nor to safeguard such boys from the abuses, both physical and sexual, that they so often experience too. Many of these “masculinity experts” with their chronic sense of moral superiority, are the modern day tobacco lobbyists; anti-science-snakeoil-salesmen, who bat away vast amounts of data that reveal them for who they are. Grifters. Grifters with misleading views of adolescent violence; who fill their pockets, and leave behind millions of vulnerbale boys without help. Boys who are neglected in service of a dogmatic ideology, which point blank refuses to see them as equally important recipients of care and protection as girls. In my view, there are few people more shameful than those who leave vulnerable men without help, in order to further a political agenda; however, those who do the same to boys, surely are the very worst. So let us be clear – No child, of either sex, should be left without help. And no child is immune to holding harmful views of the other. Teach children respect, love, and self worth. Break the cycle of violence.
