In short:

Teachers are speaking up about the influence of an online male movement known as the “manosphere” on their classrooms.

Some teachers say they have noticed a rise in misogynistic attitudes among students, and have experienced physical intimidation and verbal abuse.

The Australian Secondary Principals’ Association says the influence of the manosphere is a “worrying trend”, but has emphasised most students do the right thing and most classrooms are safe.

      Look at the outsized effects boomers have had on the world - it’s going to be several generations.

        I know what you’re getting at but isn’t that how all generations work? Go back 40 years and younger boomers would be saying the same stuff about the silent generation or whoever else.

          Boomers are the OG hippies. They’re definitely a mixed bag. I’ve known some amazing people and some really racist, selfish, shitty people in every generation.

          Edit: I’m agreeing with you.
