Raising Boys in a Culture of Misogyny: A Discussion on Prevention and Responsibility
A Sky News podcast explores the challenges of raising boys in a culture entrenched with misogyny, focusing on a Labour government strategy aimed at teaching boys about sexual violence and its prevention. Former podcaster and Home Office minister Jess Phillips explains the rationale behind this new strategy, highlighting its preventive approach and acknowledging the time it took to develop.
The discussion features a panel that questions the effectiveness of this approach and debates whether teachers alone can ensure the safety of women and girls. Hosts Beth, Ruth, and Harriet also emphasize the crucial role of parents in guiding boys about the content they encounter online.
Beyond the central topic, the podcast briefly touches on political forecasts for the end of 2025, with credit given to Kemi Badenoch and predictions of a strong 2026 performance from an unexpected participant.
The episode candidly addresses issues of sexual violence, directing listeners to Rape Crisis for support and advice. Interested audiences are invited to connect via WhatsApp at 07934 200 444 or email at [email protected]. The full episode is also accessible on YouTube.
