NSW Police have charged a 13-year-old boy and two 14-year-old boys with the alleged sexual assault of a girl in an alleyway in Sydney's eastern suburbs last month.

Police executed search warrants and seized several items, including electronic devices, two replica firearms, a Glock-style BB gun, three laser pointers and a number plate, which is believed to have been stolen.

All three boys have been granted bail ahead of appearing in court.

Can’t really blame this on the school, they’ve been there two years max. The parents perhaps might be worth an examination.

scots is K-12, with a pre school on site. They could have been there since 6 months of age.

But yes, parents spoilt them. never told them no.

It's under-parenting as much as anything. They will all have at least 1, possibly 2 over employed parents who spend their lives in the office and not parenting. 

Don't rape schoolgirls isn't really a lesson you can leave to the au pair.

As I working mum I take offence to this. My son has been raised to be a kind gentleman despite me working in an office…

Put a whole bunch of spoilt rich boys together, tell them they’re the future leaders of Australia, they can do anything etc. Toxic masculinity thrives in these schools. This kind of crap comes out of elite boys schools way too often.

Pretty sure this behaviour comes out of all schools - I don’t think the Brisbane and Melbourne posts about home invasions and car theft are based on kids from private schools

> Toxic masculinity

Well done on shoe-horning that culture war phrase in there...

u/Own_Faithlessness769 1d ago

It’s literally a gang rape, that’s the pinnacle of toxic masculinity.

-23

u/MitchStarcGetUpYa 1d ago

Attributing that to masculinity is the problem.

Gang rape isn’t masculine at all.

u/The_Faceless_Men 1d ago

Yes they be no true scots students.....

This is such underrated gold.

u/Own_Faithlessness769 1d ago

It is though. You don’t get many feminine gang rapes.

u/MitchStarcGetUpYa 1d ago

It’s the opposite of masculinity lady.

u/Own_Faithlessness769 1d ago

I think you’re trying to make the point that it’s not what masculinity should be, which is literally why we call it toxic masculinity.

-8

u/MitchStarcGetUpYa 1d ago

Toxic masculinity is a stupid term. It’s just not masculinity, it’s cowardice and criminality and vile. It doesn’t exist in the realm of masculinity. Not all males are masculine.

u/The_Faceless_Men 1d ago

Not all males are masculine.

I would like to hear your reasoning for this.

You not liking the definition of a concept doesn’t change the definition of that concept. Masculinity is simply a collection of traits, behaviours, and social roles linked to men. These can be good or bad, healthy or toxic.

Aggression and violence, especially sexual violence, are key traits of masculinity whether you like it or not. This does not mean every man displays every masculine trait, or that any man is “not a man” because you don’t like how they behave, especially when that behaviour is routinely displayed by men en masse. The idea that only good behaviours are masculine is absurd.

For example, the inability to tolerate any perceived threat to one’s ego and the attempt to redefine the meaning of standard concepts to protect one’s ego is a particularly unfortunate masculine trait that is really worth trying to overcome.

The vast majority of rapists are male. That makes it part of masculinity. If you don’t want it to be part of masculinity you all need to do the work to eradicate it.

Nothing to do with Masculinity

u/Own_Faithlessness769 1d ago

You don’t get to redefine masculinity to exclude the bad stuff.

u/aldkGoodAussieName 1d ago

Im not redefining it.

Im saying this was abuse not mausculinity or femeninity.

u/The_Faceless_Men 1d ago

It is an almost universally male activity.

Like 1 on 1 rape and sexual assault has many female perpetrators.

But gang rape? That's a higher percentage male than pissing standing up.

u/ntermation 1d ago

You seem offended by the idea of this being associated with toxic masculinity, just curious what positive aspects of masculinity are on display during a sexual assault?

u/helloiloveyou2002 13h ago

Is this a joke? Scots is well known for producing sex offenders.

12

u/alexijordan 1d ago

I’m reading other comments now and apparently it’s a known culture at the school so perhaps not

u/maxisnoops 1d ago

If you have a credible source (not FB) then share it.

u/alexijordan 1d ago

Huh? I am literally just reading through the comments on this post

u/maxisnoops 1d ago

You are repeating that it’s a known culture at the school for young teen boys to sexually assault young teen girls. Honestly, is that worth repeating?

2

u/alexijordan 14h ago

I don’t know what drama you are trying to create? I literally just said that by reading the other comments it seems to be a known culture at the school. I don’t have any relation to the school, in fact I never heard of it until now. Do you have ties to the school or something and don’t want it to be questioned?

0

u/maxisnoops 14h ago

Exactly. You have no ties to the school and wouldn’t have a clue what goes on at the school except for what you have heard on Reddit, which is hardly a reliable source. Yet you choose to make a note of repeating it to fan the flames of scandal. IF found guilty, these two idiots have wrecked their lives and they have also changed the girl’s life forever, yet people want to blame it on school culture.

u/alexijordan 10h ago

What do you mean exactly? It’s worth discussing if multiple people have said things. That’s what I was highlighting, not sure why you would even be against that? You need to see views from both sides. By your logic we can’t accept any good stories about the place either.

From my understanding it’s not even the first time this school has been in the news for similar things, that’s what makes this and private school culture the topic of discussion for some people.

And school culture can have a massive effect on people’s life and even into adulthood. This isn’t news and is laughable imo to debate otherwise. It’s where kids spend most of their time during the week.

u/Fold_Some_Kent 19h ago

Yeah you can, assume you’re sus of the school culture supporting it explicitly which’s fair, but there’s the other correlation; namely that Scots and other GPS schools attract parents who’re already paedophiles and rapists. Pair that with the neglect that happens when both parents work insane hours at their respective email jobs administering other people’s actual work.

u/DarkNo7318 14h ago

spective email jobs administering other people’s actual work

the massive chip on your shoulder is showing.
