Concise Summary:
Title: Teachers very worried about the influence of online misogynists on students - Scimex
Key Points:
- A survey of 200 UK teachers indicates significant concern regarding the influence of misogynistic figures, such as Andrew Tate and the incel community, on students.
- Three-quarters of high school teachers and nearly two-thirds of primary school teachers expressed high levels of concern about this issue.
- Specific instances of troubling behavior include a male student stating that “it is ok to hurt women because Andrew Tate does it,” and female students feeling unsafe due to potential comments or actions from boys.
- While the study does not establish a direct cause-and-effect relationship between misogynistic influencers and student behavior, a large majority of teachers (90% secondary, 68% primary) believe their schools would benefit from resources addressing misogyny.

Executive Summary:
Teachers in the UK are expressing deep concerns about the impact of online misogynist figures on their students’ attitudes and behavior, particularly after a survey revealed that many educators feel that misogynistic content is affecting student interactions and perceptions of gender. There is a call for educational materials to address these issues, reflecting a demand amongst teachers for better resources to combat the rise of misogynistic attitudes in schools.
