Some suggestions 1. Parents remember the internet is a place not a thing. 2. Coaches/teachers role model respect/kindness 3. All, be curious & ask questions 4. All, Address misogyny quickly 5. Correct misperceptions02 Apr 2025 08:12 +0000at://did:plc:l5df3emgfseqppcu23bkawrm/app.bsky.feed.post/3llswvegqyc2vhttps://bsky.app/profile/grahamgoulden.bsky.social/post/3llrgglxqwk2nNatasha is in the mark here. Adolescence has created a whole load of empathy in our society. It’s clearly a drama society needs to engage with but leave it out of schools. How we engage boys in these issues is so crucial. It’s not simply about educating. Engagement comes first.
