Online Trends and Concerns
As parents, it's essential to be aware of the influences that shape our children's perceptions and behaviours. Toxic male culture and misogyny are significant issues that can affect boys and girls alike, even at a young age. These harmful attitudes and behaviours stem from rigid stereotypes about masculinity that promote dominance, aggression, and the devaluation of women.
Toxic male culture often glorifies traits such as physical strength, emotional suppression, and competitiveness, while disparaging qualities like empathy and vulnerability. Misogyny, on the other hand, involves the prejudice against women and girls, leading to discrimination, lack of respect, and unequal treatment.

Together, we can help our children grow into compassionate and respectful individuals who value equality and embrace diversity.
