Boys Are Not Misogynists | Joanna Gray The Sceptic Ep.79

About this episode

The episode discusses the challenges boys face in British schools and the implications of the UAE's departure from OPEC.

Are British schools waging a quiet war on boys? Plus: the UAE's dramatic departure from OPEC. In Episode 79 of the Sceptic, host Laurie Wastell speaks to Joanna Gray – writer, confidence mentor and Daily Sceptic regular – on what the modern world gets wrong about gender. They discuss Jess Phillips’ proposed “anti-misogyny” lessons for schoolboys, the female domination of teaching, the lack of male role models and why pathologising normal boyhood is damaging a generation of young men. And Tilak Doshi, the Daily Sceptic’s Energy Editor, on the UAE’s shock departure from OPEC – what it means for the cartel, global oil markets and geopolitics in the Middle East.
