Girls asked for nudes by up to 11 boys a night, Ofsted finds

Some girls can be contacted by up to 11 boys a night asking for nude images, the schools watchdog for England says.

In an Ofsted survey, girls explained that if they blocked boys on social media "they just create multiple accounts to harass you".

The report also found nine in 10 girls experienced sexist name-calling or were sent explicit photos or videos.

The watchdog is warning that sexual harassment has become "normalised" among school-age children.

Students often do not see the point of reporting abuse and many teachers underestimate the scale of these problems, Ofsted says.

In the survey, girls said boys "just won't take no for an answer" when asking for explicit images.

At one school, the girls told inspectors they can be contacted by up to 10 or 11 different boys a night asking for nude or semi-nude images.

Women's groups are calling for school staff to be trained to change the culture and for a government taskforce.

Ministers say schools and colleges will be encouraged to dedicate training days to help staff deal with sexual abuse.

A BBC investigation has revealed at least 13,000 sex offences a year between under-18s have been reported to police in England and Wales between 2018 and 2020.

Thirty police forces responded to a Freedom of Information request which revealed in about 2,000 cases, both the alleged victim and perpetrator were aged 10 or under.

About 1,000 of the reported offences were about events happening on school premises.

This echoes Ofsted's finding that inappropriate sexual behaviour is filtering down into primary schools.

This is an example of how the media tell lies by technically being factual.

This phrasing in particular jumps out to me:

The report also found nine in 10 girls experienced sexist name-calling or were sent explicit photos or videos.

Given that the story is about being asked for explicit nudes the implication and emotional manipulation going on here is to try and get you to think that 9/10 girls are being asked for explicit nudes. But it's specifcially 9/10 experience sexist name calling, with 7/10 boys also reporting that is the case.

This is an example of one reason why feminist propoganda pieces do not mention mens issues. They're relying on stereotypes to get you not to question the idea that 9/10 girls are asked for nudes. But if they reported that figure alongside the male one, it would trip peoples skepticism and they'd take a closer look.

"9/10 girls and 7/10 boys experienced sexist name calling or being asked for sexually explicit nudes".

On its own this alone would be noteworthy, however, the propoganda piece goes significantly further than merely "Telling lies with statistics" and neglects to mention that this is not actually a study on how often this happens.

The question the kids were asked was;

"How often do you think this happens to people in your age group?".

They're being asked to speculate about what other peoples experiences are rather than report their own. This is then reported as "Oh no, girls are having these experiences". This is an example of a flat out lie about what the report says by the media rather than merely manipulation like the previous example.

All the report has shown is that girls think a lot of stuff is happening in their age group. If that were in fact the case a better question to ask would be "How often does this happen to you" rather than "How often do you think this might happen to other people your age?" then spamming the airwaves with "Oh this happens to lots of people" thereby reinforcing that notion in peoples heads as "Very common" in a self-referential and circular fashion.

We already know from studies that people grossly overestimate how much sexual attention and action other people are getting. So this is actually quite a clever manipualtion by feminist propogandists here, all in service of fueling a moral panic as usual.

The same report contains the actual figures that the BBC chose to ignore in order to tell lies to the public by the way:

26% of young people had sent a nude image to someone they were interested in and 48% had received one of someone else

.

So the BBC is now on the level of literal children in terms of their understanding of dynamics of sexual interactions in schools rather than on the level of people who have studied the situation, as is anyone who believes their nonsense without looking into it.

Also worth noting is the character of the people involved here and their decision to misrepresent reality and tell lies in the study too;

Although anyone can experience sexual harassment and violence, research indicates that girls are disproportionately affected. For example, 90% of recorded offences of rape in 2018–19 of 13- to 15-year-olds were committed against girls.

(Let's just ignore what the "Offence of rape" constitutes in the UK to pretend it's a womens issue.).

Ah, you see, it's <bleep> all the way down...

Oh wait can I say that? I bet I can't say that. Better bleep it.

"It's not a hate movement. We're just actively demonizing male children by misrepresenting reality to paint them in as negative a light as possible, all in service of demanding power so we can abuse and gaslight them by telling them if they don't accept this lie about themselves and promise to do as we tell them to fix it, they're awful human beings.".

Do you see why feminists should be driven out of polite society yet?

Seriously if you're just posting feminist news articles without examining them first, you're spreading misinformation dude. Shame social media sites don't realize that and ban people for doing it. Huskar, you should know better man, come on.

At one school, the girls told inspectors they can be contacted by up to 10 or 11 different boys a night asking for nude or semi-nude images.

This is an example of what we call an outlier. Literally.

Also, the BBC slyly misrepresenting reality and telling lies here by ommiting some words. The report has this sentence word for word... except for one thing.

"At one school, the girls told inspectors that SOME girls can be contacted by-".

Why would the BBC omit that word I wonder?

So basically "We found a single group of girls in the whole country who this is happening to.".

By the way.

This is also omited from the BBC article and *directly follows* from this point because it's the same school.

Some children and young people thought that it was ‘ok’ and ‘acceptable’ to ask someone for a nude picture, but had been taught to think about who else might see the pictures apart from the original recipient, and not to share them further.

Better not mention that bit I guess.

"A group of children who don't see a problem sharing nudes provided that they aren't shared beyond their group, are often asked to share nudes with eachother.".

Earthshattering stuff.

The report also goes into detail by the way about how girls report they feel safe at school, but not safe in other places and think those are significant problems. So you can't even really say this is about "Listening to girls" or whatever. It's about using them as a pawn in a power grab to try and gaslight society into letting feminists impose systems of control into schools which they can use to psychologically abuse children. The answers have been selected, distorted, misrepresented, anything they said that doesn't further a "Put feminists in charge of changing the school system" narrative is discarded.

The girls are told to shut up and zip it when they say "The problem isn't school" and talked over.

[Ostroeuropa]

Almost like Starmer dragging the party rightward isn't working out.

And taking it further left would? Based on what evidence?

The main drivers of the loss in this case seem to be the youth vote abandoning Labour for the Greens. Voting intention among 18-24 shows Greens at 27%, a 21% swing away from Labour. With just 3% more of a swing, the Green party will overtake Labour among young voters.

The other group of voters causing this trend are people abandoning Labour for the Conservatives. I don't think I need to explain to you that they're doing it precisely because Boris is memeing about moving the party left economically while also shouting about how Woke people are terrible.

Adopting an economically centrist and socially woke platform is electoral suicide because it alienates both of those groups.

Boris' positioning of the conservatives as more economically centrist has made it easier for people to transition from Labour to the Tories over social issues, especially in the context of Starmer also doing that. It makes it an obvious choice for them really.

There's just not enough Blairites in the country to form a government and they have no social capital left with which to build a coalition. They fucked over Corbyn, started an "Illegal" war, and pushed mass migration. Those actions have made it so nobody is willing to ally with them anymore except under the limited circumstances of "The Tories are going apeshit with austerity".

Labour likes to waffle sometimes about how demographics is destiny. The trend of the young to abandon labour en masse for the greens seems to indicate that, well...

You've met with a terrible fate, haven't you?

The DUP is imploding and tearing itself apart for all of Northern Ireland to see and is tanking in the polls.

Oh, thats good!

But the DUP and Loyalist paramilitaries are drumming up campaigns of hatred and misdirection over Brexit to enflame tensions and divert the blame away from themselves.

... thats bad.

But the DUP might get absolutely hammered in next years election in a historical defeat for Unionism whilst the Alliance Party surges to a potentially historic win hopefully opening up the middle ground of NI politics.

Oh, thats good!

But the TUV who are even worse than the DUP stand to win more seats and galvanise angry and disillusioned Loyalist voters.

... thats bad.

They are basically a more hard-line DUP. They were formed by Jim Allister in 2007 after he quit the DUP over its decision to go into power sharing with Sinn Fein. They oppose mandatory power sharing and are highly socially conservative. Allister is a bitter old bastard and he does his best to rile up people and get them mad.

Under PR Labour would almost certainly split into a party of the Labour left and a party of the Labour right, who only currently stay together because FPTP encourages them to try to crush the other internally so people can only vote for their policies or a minor party.
