UK Politics
General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both [email protected] and [email protected] .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
[email protected] appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

Male teachers in primary schools have a whole set of problems unique to them, this is not a case of women being more willing to accept abuse or a lower status.
Lets see a source.
Because having to avoid violance or sexual inappropriate behavior is not unique to men.
Not being able to is very much a rile model issue.
And failiure to address false claims is abain down to leadership. While our nations leaders have been mostly men. So again not a great exaply of male role models.
Remember my statement was non of these issues point to quality role models from men. Not they dont exist.
You've imagined a whole set of problems totally at odds with reality.
The problems are mostly around exclusion, by other staff and parents.
Parents speaking to the female teacher and trusting them over the male one, and children copying this behaviour etc.
And you are imagining prejudice with 0 actual evidence supporting it.
Unfortunately you are not actually alone. Hence my point.
Honestly show me any documented/data backed evidence on this that is not people expressing personal opinions. And consider the effect those opinions have on thier quality as a role model.
