The boys in Adolescence are constantly made to seem pathetic, childlike and contemptible. Taken along with similar shows, it feels like a demoralisation campaign against white British boys, says Laurie Wastell.
Netflix's Adolescence perpetuates the lazy trope of portraying a white boy as the perpetrator of deadly violence against girls, despite this being very rare in reality. But the Government is no better, says David Shipley.
Britain has launched a crackdown on "hyper-masculine" social media after digital watchdog Ofcom urged technology giants to go "above and beyond" the Online Safety Act in taking action against "misogyny influencers".
In the latest Weekly Sceptic podcast – recorded live at the Hippodrome in Leicester Square – the talking points are Nigel Farage reaching the jungle final, Robert Jenrick quitting and Alex Jones's return to Twitter.
In the latest episode of the Weekly Sceptic, the talking points are Costa Coffee's trans virtue-signalling, Andrew Neil becoming a TERF and Gina Miller's debanking (a wake-up call for Remainers who thought they were safe).
Nick Dixon and Toby Young talk about the hatefulness of Stop Funding Hate, the Conservative councillor suspended for objecting to Pride and the Left-liberal hypocrisy on show in the Huw Edwards BBC scandal.
In the latest Weekly Sceptic podcast the talking points are Joe Rogan's $100,000 vaccine debate offer to RFK Jr. and Peter Hotez, Howard from Take Take getting cancelled and Laurence Fox burning a Pride flag.
In the latest Weekly Sceptic podcast the talking points are Andrew Tate's release from jail, the grooming gangs Twitter meltdown and the trans activist school massacre.
In this week's episode of London Calling, the talking points are the dinosaur conspiracy theory, the Top G's release from jail, Trump's indictment, the narrowing of the Overton Window and how Succession is going to end.
A series of Andrew Tate-inspired Mother's Day cards has been launched, but no one can agree if they are satirising misogyny, or are simply misogynist themselves.
