PsyPost: Incel forum users arrive angry—and their language gets more extreme over time. “A study of prolific users on incel forums found that these individuals express more anger in their comments than users on other comparable social media platforms. However, they did not express greater sadness. The researchers also found that many users were already using incel-specific vocabulary when […]

BBC: Influencers fuelling misogyny in schools, teachers say. “Social media influencers are fuelling an increase in misogyny and sexism in schools, according to a new poll by a teaching union. Almost three in five teachers said they believe social media use has had a negative effect on behaviour in schools, the NASUWT poll of 5,800 teachers in the UK found.”

"A rise in misogyny and racism is flooding UK schools as pupils ape the behaviour of figures such as Donald Trump and Andrew Tate after exposure through social media and online gaming, teachers have warned.

A survey by the NASUWT union found most teachers identified social media as 'the number one cause' of pupil misbehaviour, with female staff bearing the brunt."

The Guardian · Barking at female staff and blocking doorways: teachers warn of rise in misogyny and racism in UK schoolsBy Richard Adams
I made one post frustrated with the "Dogs will be dogs" mindset which gets gets many dogs and people injured, and the post gets piled on with men who were obviously raised with the "boys will be boys" mindset, who seem to think that being gay is the biggest insult they could throw at me. Both #dogs and #boys can be raised to be disciplined, productive members of society that women don't have to fear being being around and having they body assaulted. These guys obviously weren't and are now mad no one wants to be around them. #dog

_The Evening Post_, 23 March 1925:
                 NELSON NEWS
        YOUTHS AND AQUATICS
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
                NELSON, 21st March.
  The aquatic proclivities of the #youth of this city are always to the fore in the summer months. Canvas #canoes used to be much in evidence, both on the river and harbour, and were nearly all constructed by the boys themselves, some of them exhibiting great skill, both in design and workmanship, and when the tides were high the fleet used to leave its rendezvous—the river—and adventure on the harbour, and in some cases out on the open bay. Various were the means of propulsion… the mosquito fleet would be found in units all over the harbour bobbing on the waves, and, to the astonishment of the boat and yachtsmen frequently passing them…. Seldom, if ever, was an accident reported, and as the tide receded the fleet again reassembled in the river.… this summer… the graceful canoe seems to be superseded by a multitude of tiny craft of a type similah [sic] to a wharf construction punt.… Our Iron Duke Sea Scouts, who recently won Lord Jellicoe’s trident, were, no doubt, recruited from this perennial band of adventurers.
