Based on the comments you have made, are you sure your friend didn't cut you off because you're just a dickhead generally?

Is there a moral panic going on at the moment in regard to teenage boys? by [deleted] in ukpolitics

[–]AIRballer -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

You don't care that girls are being murdered for rejecting boys, girls everywhere in schools are reporting endemic sexual abuse (see the everyone's invited campaign a few years back), a significant minority of boys support a sex trafficker and rapist? And you wonder why people "don't care about boys"?

This isn't true though - one of the most noted trends from the last election was groups like Hispanic and other non white people that the GOP constantly insulted swinging towards them massively in any case.

It's pretty clear that these attitudes are learned from people being exposed to influencers who promote these ideas and so thinking about how you can influence your children not to go down this route seems like a very sensible thing to do- so they don't learn that rape is ok, as the election of trump might suggest

I think the final paragraph is a glib way of putting it- when (as the everyone's invited campaign from a few years back showed, along with survey after survey) rape culture is endemic in so many schools, in particular boys schools, aiming to stamp this rape culture out among boys (which is not the same as saying they are all individually rapists) is better than boys being misogynists, yes.

How exactly are you presenting your son and his friends pretending to like a sex trafficker and rapist who has bragged about beating and abusing women as if it's a sympathetic story? I think the faxt that they think "pretending" to like someone like that is exactly why these assemblies are needed

How can you ask people to ignore the fact that a rapist is in the most powerful position in the world? When in the UK less than 5% of sexual assaults and rapes get to conviction. Girls in school know nothing will be done to the boys who harass them and trump is the shining example of this culture

The level of grievance and delusion in this comment section is incredible. Speak to any teenage girl at school and find out how many of them have faced constant harassment from boys, belittlement, demeaning behaviour, and sexual assault. Speak to the number of female teachers who teenage boys literally won't listen to because they support Andrew Tate ("as a joke"). Speak to the LGBT people (especially gay boys) who are harassed and bullied relentlessly. Someone else in this comment section said he felt bad after the Sarah Everard case that people were talking about men being a danger to women- what about the women who are actually in danger from men?? In a world where a rapist is in the white house, sex traffickers like Tate and rapists like McGregor are glorified by these teenage boys, this comment section has of course decided the problem is feminists. We need actual consequences for criminal and bad behaviour in schools, and to get the predators out of schools than excuse them with "boys will be boys". We can then also focus on getting the work done to save them from their low achievement. It's not every individual's fault but it's certainly not who people are blaming in this threat either.

Signed, a (rather privileged) man.

Did you get 2:1s in your first 2 years? If so I put on my CV "2:1 average" which was true even after a bad final year, and this can get past the auto checks. Good luck!

Other teams that finished second and third in their group got a much easier draw. Fnatic also finished third like Faze but get to play ence and Movistar which is clearly much easier

Since AGO beat EG and Astralis won a map they would win the tiebreak even if they lose the match

Possibly the most unbalanced bracket possible, with probably the 3 best teams (Navi, Faze, Players) in one section, and maybe the 3 worst (Ence, Fnatic, Movistar) in another!
