as posted by the channel

There’s a disturbing trend in Australian schools. Teen boys are being bombarded online with toxic ideas about masculinity and the opposite sex. It starts on social media, but now misogyny is rising in classrooms. Female students are feeling unsafe at school, and female teachers are leaving the profession.

After the Netflix drama Adolescence cast an international spotlight on these issues, Siobhan Marin investigates how parents, schools and communities can tackle problematic algorithms and attitudes — without alienating boys or pushing them further into the ‘manosphere’.
