The rise of toxic male influencers and the Manosphere means that all over the country, boys are at risk of misogynistic radicalisation. Schools need to be proactive in their efforts to combat misogyny, and this book will help them do just that. It explains how misogyny shows up in classrooms, corridors, and group chats, and, crucially, what we can do to challenge it.

Combining the latest research, personal anecdote, and expert advice, the book provides guidance on tackling misogyny in all aspects of school life from the curriculum and behaviour policies to the corridors and tutor time. Packed with evidence-based strategies and real examples, the chapters cover:

• The Manosphere: what is it and what can we do about it?

• Social media, internet porn, and the role of influencers

• The impact of misogyny on young people

• Combatting misogyny and sexual harassment

• How to have meaningful and effective discussions

Written by Matt Pinkett, teacher, bestselling author, and expert on adolescent masculinity, this is essential reading for teachers and school leaders wanting to better understand, discuss, and address misogyny and sexual harassment in their schools.
