If I could gather the leaders of all boys’ schools in one room, this would be my sincere plea to them. Your leadership of these students is pivotal in shaping our country.
which related to the leadership of Nicholas Sampson at Cranbrook School. I rejected the request until days before when details were revealed to me. I had no interest in being involved when I thought it was an exposé on the behaviour of boys at a specific institution because I am well aware this is a larger societal challenge. If you put a microscope on any space dominated by young men today, you will find stories worthy of news headlines.
A piece of information that should not be news to you is that there are predators at your school. When I posted 6400 testimonies of sexual assault largely submitted by young women on teachusconsent.com in 2021, almost every boys’ school in Sydney was named in reference to a former or current student there being a perpetrator of sexual assault. Most of them in the dozens, some of them in the hundreds.
In reality, cases of sexual abuse can happen anywhere, so it should be seen as positive for “reputation” when a teacher or student is adequately held to account publicly because it deters other predators, tells other victims they are safe to come forward, and makes the institution and community safer for all.To clarify, toxic masculinity does not mean that men are toxic. I appreciate the phrase has received backlash from boys and it has made me reflect on the context in which I use it.
