This book confronts an escalating crisis unfolding in Australian schools: the influence of manosphere-aggravated misogyny and the everyday gendered violences it produces. Drawing on interviews and testimonies from over 130 teachers, it examines the legacy of the profound harms caused by Andrew Tate, and the ways that other manosphere groups and ideologies are shaping boys' attitudes and behaviour towards women in schools.

The book argues that manosphere ideologies, amplified by powerful platform algorithms and galvanised by wider political shifts towards far-right populism and grievance-based politics, are contributing to misogynist radicalisation, increasingly surfacing in classrooms in boys' hostility toward gender equality, profound sexist behaviours, and strengthened commitments to the idea of 'male supremacy'. Part One maps this terrain, centering teachers' accounts that show how misogynistic narratives take hold, how they reanimate long-standing patterns of sexism in schools, and how institutions themselves often minimise or dismiss women educators' experiences. Part Two turns to solutions, offering practical, research-informed guidance for teachers, leaders and policymakers seeking to build safer school environments and enable effective violence prevention work to take place. It provides strategies for whole-school change along with complementary pedagogical tools, while grappling with the structural barriers that hinder progress towards just outcomes.

Accessible yet deeply grounded in data and theoretical analysis, Schooling Misogyny is both a diagnosis and a call to action—an essential resource for anyone committed to addressing and preventing gender-based violence and creating more transformative educational futures.
