How every parent can help get rid of toxic masculinity

Welcome to Small Humans, an ongoing series at Mashable that looks at how to take care of – and deal with – the kids in your life. Because Dr. Spock is nice and all, but it’s 2019 and we have the entire internet to contend with.

Youth sports are often pure chaos. I’m the head coach of two girls’ basketball teams and I’ve seen my share of wild behavior. There are coaches cursing at referees like the NBA championship is on the line, and parents who think their 5-year-old is headed for a full basketball scholarship at Stanford just because she can dribble a ball without falling down. But one thing I witnessed a couple of years ago really shocked me. Read more…

Train company responds to woman’s complaint about sexist behaviour with, uh, more sexism

sudshr47 January 2, 2018

Heads up, companies: when a woman makes a complaint about the misogynist behaviour of a male employee, take her seriously.

Sadly, this isn’t what happened when a woman complained to a UK train company about the dismissive and patronising conduct of one of their train conductors. Instead, her complaint was met with a snarky and completely tone deaf response.

Emily Lucinda Cole tweeted a complaint to Virgin Trains East Coast that an older male train manager dismissed her in a “patronising” way, calling her “honey.”

When virgin trains mess up and the older male train manager in the resulting conversation dismisses you with that hideously patronising word women shudder at in contexts such as these: “honey” @virgin_trainsEC.

Hate Speech Misogyny Rape Reddit Violence

Reddit bans board where men posted misogynistic content and even advocated rape

sudshr47 November 9, 2017

Reddit’s crackdown on violent content continues with the ban of a board called “Involuntary Celibates” /r/Incels in which people posted misogynistic content and even incited rape.

In its description, the community said it was a “support group for people who lack romantic relationships and sex.”

But a quick look on some cached posts shows the board was a hornet’s nest for brutal hate content directed at women, who are described as “femoids” or “fembots”:
