The Australian teachers quitting over Andrew Tate

<p>For some time now, an alarming number of Australian boys have been engaging with, and looking up to, the misogynistic influencer Andrew Tate.</p> <p>This week, the conversation about misogyny and the &ldquo;manosphere&rdquo; has resurfaced. Social Services Minister Tanya Plibersek has accused&nbsp;<em>Married At First Sight </em>of platforming coercive control and misogyny, Netflix has released Louis Theroux&rsquo;s <em>Inside the Manosphere</em>, and fresh research suggests roughly 40% of teenage boys surveyed agreed that women lie about domestic and sexual violence.</p> <p>Tate&rsquo;s influence is warping classroom conversation, driving female peers to the fringe of discussion and even causing some teachers to quit.</p> <p>So why are misogynistic influencers reaching so many young men?</p> <p>Today, we&rsquo;re bringing you an episode from 2024 &ndash; in which Ange McCormack speaks to author and journalist Anna Krien about the misogynist radicalisation happening in our schools.</p> <p>This episode was first published in March 2024.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>If you enjoy <em>7am</em>, the best way you can support us is by making a contribution at <a href="http://7ampodcast.com.au/support">7ampodcast.com.au/support</a>.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Socials:</strong><strong> </strong>Stay in touch with us on <a href="http://www.instagram.com/7ampodcast">Instagram</a></p> <p><strong>Guest:</strong> Journalist and author, Anna Krien</p> <p><strong>Photo:&nbsp;</strong>AP Photo/Vadim Ghirda</p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
