Radical Feminists
perspectives on education based on
Kat Baynard's 'the equality illusion'
first belief
they push...
they see
boy's
'relative
under achievement
' as a '
moral panic
' from a
male dominated system
the system is
more focused boy's education
rather than girl's
they believe the
male dominated system
is '
panicking
' due to a '
collapse
' in the
old patriarchal society
, powers and relations
second belief
they push...
the
gender domains
in
subject choices
are very
male
orientated and
dominated
-
hegemonic masculinity
third belief
they push...
traditional gender norms are reinforced in schools
, including the
stereotypes of women
are
reinforced and supported
in schools
to purposefully disadvantage girls
fourth belief
they push
despite educationally girls are doing well in schools - they are
automatically more open to sexist bullying
, something which has
become the 'normalization of pornography
'
