Worth a read, he’s probably right. I don’t think domestic violence is committed by evil men, no one is born evil. Something needs to be done about addressing the root problem

I think there is a lot of normalised domestic abuse.
There are also a lot of overaged boys who still believe that “boys will be boys” is acceptable societal behaviour.

I went to an all boy school. Sexist and disrespect towards women and girls pretty much went unchallenged by the majority, it was mostly hidden from the teachers but they rarely would interfere. There was an instance in year 12 where one of the prefects made a comment which was pretty disgusting at a year level assembly, a female teacher who was there I had a class with later that day took issue with it as well. The comment was supposedly a joke, however it wasn’t the sort of joke where it’s intended to be funny because the view is stupid or outdated. I probably could’ve done something about it, but I think my discontent with the student leadership and the groups involved was already established so my voice wouldn’t have carried any weight. At least it didn’t when we brought other allegations against student leadership to the head of senior school in year 11.
I’ve got no idea what those people are doing now but I can only hope they’ve changed their views
