I wish I could say that the scandal about a “rape culture” in private schools comes as a surprise. More than 10,000 “testimonies” by young women who have experienced sexual abuse have been posted on the website Everyone’s Invited. The stories range from boys pressuring girls to send them nude pictures to truly repulsive acts of personal humiliation. Schools which feature in the rollcall of shame include eminent academic institutions like Dulwich College and Highgate.
allisonpearson Bloody Hell I have led a sheltered life. Thank bloody God. 🤦♂️
allisonpearson Totally agree with this article the link between internet porn and problems at school are very clear
allisonpearson It's very easy to site porn as the problem, we need to look at the pathway to that level of sexual knowledge. The soft sexual content of music, the celebrity culture, Media shows that promote hook ups etc that's the first target
allisonpearson It would help if schools didn't go in for saying that using porn was a normal healthy part of sex life in their RSHE lessons. Seriously.
allisonpearson May be only have single sex schools and universities?
allisonpearson We need to address the way sex is used by media adverts to sell goods and commodities. That should stop, if we want children to grow up to treat people with respect.
allisonpearson I would have to concur with this greatly. It’s not like when we were kids and we found an old Playboy Mag in the bushes. The access these days is scary and makes parenting so challenging.
allisonpearson Agree with that. But, long before porn, there was far more sexual abuse. It was everyday for most of history. So, it ain't porn. And porn can be a primer for learning about sex, far more than the bible or your cousin.
allisonpearson Planting toxic ideas is the problem. Not porn.
allisonpearson Everyone is so desperate not to be seen as uncool.
allisonpearson No it hasn’t
allisonpearson Remember EuroTrash? 😬
allisonpearson We live in a Western society which has no shame, but rather monetises and exploits sex in every imaginable way. Little wonder that people have fewer and fewer boundaries, and that young people are growing up in a society without a moral compass.
