Misogyny in Schools? Can You Spot It in an 8-Year-Old?

This week, we started with one question and somehow ended up in pigeon-related financial trauma and the Beckham family group chat from hell.We’re talking about the push to train teachers to spot misogyny in schools, and asking the obvious question: what is a teacher even meant to be looking for in an eight-year-old? Is it misogyny, sexism, or just kids being annoying little weirdos?From “girls can’t be superheroes” to “refusing to share Lego”, we try to work out where the line is, whether labelling kids too early helps anyone, and why it sometimes feels like we’re warning boys about becoming bad men instead of actually teaching them how to be strong, capable ones.Then we take a sharp but short turn into viral culture chaos with the Brooklyn Beckham drama, the language being used, why the woman always gets blamed, and why the press backing someone today means absolutely nothing tomorrow.Swearing, blunt opinions, and dry laughs included. As always.Misogyny vs sexism, and why it gets messy fastCan teachers realistically spot misogyny in primary school kids?“Is this misogyny or just being eight?” (Lego, superheroes, “girls smell”)What we should actually be teaching boys (responsibility, resilience, capability)The comeback debate: polite responses vs “f off, you loser”Brooklyn Beckham, Nicola Peltz, Victoria and David Beckham, and why nobody ever knows the truthThe media cycle and why women always take the hit firstWe briefly reference sexual violence in the context of a past public awareness advert.Follow the podcast, leave a rating, and send this to someone who loves a debate but hates nonsense.
