Summary from the TLDR Marketing newsletter

Nearly 60% of UK teachers say social media harms student behavior, with influencers like Andrew Tate linked to rising misogyny and sexism in schools. Some teachers report boys refusing to interact with female staff or praising Tate's views in class assignments. A separate BBC survey found over one-third of secondary teachers saw misogynistic behavior in the past week, and 40% felt unprepared to address it. Experts warn that widespread access to pornography is amplifying these issues by reinforcing power imbalances boys see echoed in online content.
