I had read about this a bit. Situation is similar in Poland, and I recall @katiejgln.bsky.social writing about this exact topic. I also worry about my son as he gets older. He already has classmates that use very misogynistic language in their group chats, and it's hard to combat peer pressure.
Fortunately, his two best friends are quite kind and their parents are tuned into what's going on. It was one of the other boy's moms that alerted us to what some of the other boys were saying, and she's already approached their teacher.
BBC (“The World” series here, not sure if that’s separate where you listen) did a piece on this yesterday. All youth, girls too, are being very targeting with ADF content. They’re calling themselves “ADF voters” despite being too young to vote.
