How to challenge misogyny in schools - sparking empathy, redefining masculinity & responding to the manosphere
In this episode, we’re joined by Andrew ‘Bernie’ Bernard, a writer, speaker, and school workshop leader on a mission to spark brave, honest conversations about masculinity, coercive control, and gender-based violence.
As toxic ideas from the online manosphere infiltrate classrooms and popular culture, and with Netflix’s Adolescence bringing national attention to the issue, Bernie’s work has never been more urgent. His powerful workshops draw on personal experience, including the story of his sister, to help young people question harmful beliefs and build empathy.
We explore how schools and trusts can engage boys without blame, the importance of who delivers PSHE messages, and the practical steps leaders can take to create safe, inclusive school environments. Bernie also shares insight on navigating conversations around masculinity, helping pupils recognise coercive behaviours, and how to support parents in tackling digital influences at home.
From developing a gender-balanced curriculum to rethinking how we teach empathy, this episode is essential listening for trust and school leaders determined to lead change.
