About this episode
An alarming number of Australian boys are engaging with, and looking up to, the misogynistic influencer Andrew Tate.
Tate’s influence is warping classroom conversation, driving female peers to the fringe of discussion and even causing some teachers to quit.
So why are misogynistic influencers reaching so many young men? And how is it forcing teachers to walk away?
Today, contributor to The Monthly and the author of Night Games Anna Krien on the “misogynist radicalisation” happening in our schools.
