Explore the critical issue of online misogyny and its impact on young boys in this thought-provoking TEDxLondonWomen talk. Join Ben Hurst, Head of Facilitation at Beyond Equality, as he discusses the importance of open conversations with boys and young men about their attitudes towards women and girls. Discover why shutting down these discussions out of fear or anxiety is counterproductive and learn about the need for equipping caregivers with tools, resources, and training to navigate these complex conversations. Delve into Hurst's arguments for creating new models of mentorship and financial training for young people, while encouraging critical thinking rather than demonizing or alienating them. Gain insights into the rise of online influencer culture, parents' and teachers' responses, and perceptions of safety. This engaging interview, conducted by Jamie Windust, offers actionable steps and a way forward in addressing the challenges of online misogyny and its effects on young males.
