The Labour Party will stamp out the 'rising tide' of sexism by tackling the issue in schools, according to shadow Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson. Ms Phillipson told the Daily Mail that, without urgent action, a 'generation of misogynists' will one day take hold. She said she was 'really worried about reports' she hears and that the issue is 'part of the pressure that lots of teachers are experiencing'.
'I believe it is really important that young people have the critical thinking skills to be able to look at what is in front of them and make an assessment of that, which is where schools have to come in.' Ms Phillipson also expressed her concerns about the rise of controversial influencers like Andrew Tate, who is the self-styled 'king of toxic masculinity'.
