I don’t have a daughter, or any kids for that matter, but I am so incensed that girls are having their education messed up because of the harassment/sexual assaults they face from boys on a seemingly daily basis. I caught a tail end of a discussion last week on Jeremy Vine’s radio show about this, where mums rang up about the incidents their daughters faced. They, and teachers too, say it is prevalent and getting worse.
I am convinced that the number of girls who say they are non-binary or who want to change sex to become a boy are doing it because of what they are facing at school, and probably what they think society are large is like for girls. Life is getting worse for girls when they should be reaping the rewards of decades of women’s empowerment. There really needs to be urgent action on this. All the porn boys, at ever younger ages, are watching and acting upon, is damaging them too. Where are their childhoods?
