I'm a substitute teacher to school boys and girls ages 10-15 in middle school and in the process of getting a master's degree in education. I feel like I've already noticed the effects of misogyny and oversexualization towards us school teachers. So many of the boys that I teach are lost causes. So many of them are squandering their education because they are so consumed with degrading and putting down both the women that teach (most of us are women at the school) and their female classmates. They disrespect us and don't listen at all. They're usually very disruptive and don't respect any female authority figure or any woman for that matter. They are so consumed with asserting their masculinity and their dominance. It frustrates me because they will literally sit there not learn anything and become more and more angry with how educated and outperforming the girls around them are becoming.
A lot of them I've noticed watch Andrew Tate and Sneako videos and repeat the same misogynistic talking points. I often hear very sexist and homophobic remarks from them and it's disheartening because these boys are so young. I also catch them staring at my backside when I'm turned away or they try to look under my skirt by dropping their pencil. I also heard in the hallways of them referring to me as “that big booty substitute.” It has subconsciously changed the way I dress around my students and I rarely wear skirts.
I've noticed that when I meet the parents of some of these boys I immediately get it because these parents always have this attitude of “you know how boys are” when you talk about their son's behaviour. The fathers are usually not present or not really involved in their children's lives so they don't have positive male figure at home. It's just so scary that nothing will be done about it. I have no faith in this generation's futures of these boys.
“that big booty substitute.”
