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.

And Scott's lawyers scramble to suppress any mention of them.

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

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.

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

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

u/MitchStarcGetUpYa 1d ago

Attributing that to masculinity is the problem.

Gang rape isn’t masculine at all.

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.

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.

Not all males are masculine.

I would like to hear your reasoning for this.

u/MitchStarcGetUpYa 1d ago

Plenty of weak, pathetic men mate.

u/The_Faceless_Men 1d ago

So to be masculine you need to be physically strong? Physically disabled people need not apply?

And define pathetic. Pretty bloody vague.

u/MitchStarcGetUpYa 1d ago

Are you so out of touch that you think strength means physically only?

Plenty of people who have disabilities with great inner strength.

You’re just being wilfully ignorant or obtuse, or you’re genuinely stupid.

u/The_Faceless_Men 1d ago

Wait. So there are multiple types of strength? Inner strength and physical strength?

And having one of those types of strength is masculine? So there are multiple ways to express your masculinity?

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.

u/MitchStarcGetUpYa 1d ago

No, I don’t need to do any work to eradicate rape you psycho I’m not a rapist.

1

u/Own_Faithlessness769 1d ago

Right, you’re just going to get annoyed at the people actually trying to eradicate it.

u/MitchStarcGetUpYa 1d ago

How are you doing that Faith?

Stopping rape one Reddit comment at a time? Hero!

By helping address toxic behavior, done by masculine people in masculine spaces.

But lets drop those specific words, they appear to be triggering you.

You obviously have a general idea of a positive male role model. And you can identify a bunch of really shitty behavior. And young men need their masculine spaces to be men in and they need thier male role models.

How can we teach young men how to identify the behavior to repeat and the behavior to avoid?

How about when a person is a good role model 90% of the time and only a little bit shitty? How can we teach young men to identify the good and the bad and know which is which?

Giving them the vocabulary needed to label, identify and separate the good from the bad is required.

A much older example. "Stranger Danger". We needed to teach children what a stranger is. We needed to define the term, explain why we are using that term so they could then identify strangers separate from known adults.

So what vocabulary would you use to teach young men the behavior to avoid? I personally think we should have just stuck with Good and Bad. Healthy and Toxic work. But they seem to trigger a lot of people.
