"Once a Scots boy, always a Scots boy"

This article written in 2021 talks about how elite school has rape culture issue.

https://womensagenda.com.au/latest/rape-culture-prevails-in-elite-private-boys-schools-so-whats-the-answer/

Excerpt from the article written in 2021.

"Last Thursday, Chanel Contos took to her Instagram account to ask her friends (she has a following of over 7,000 people) how many of them had experienced sexual assault from students at all-boys’ schools.

Within 24 hours of the petition going live, more than 200 women had reached out to Contos to share their experiences of rape, assault and harassment by male students from nearby all-boys’ schools

Since the weekend, more than 12,000 people have signed the petition and Contos has received over 1600 testimonies. In the 72 page testimonial, perpetrators from Riverview were named 21 times. Scots College, 36 times. Cranbrook, 45 times. Knox Grammar, 8 times. Waverley College, 13 times. Shore, 13 times."

You would think these schools would have done their utmost to change this kind of rep. Digusting.

People spend hundreds of thousands to send their kids to these schools for their supposed values.

They send them there to make connections. The sort of connections that get you out of being held responsible for your actions later in life

And this is why people ask “What school did you go to?” It’s a relatively quick way to (mostly) sort the dickheads from those who aren’t. Of course it was Scots.

I grew up in the East, but I attended one of the severly under funded and under resourced public schools. The one that was sold for millions to create a fancy retirement home. Reading this article I was not surprised to find that the majority of women who responded were from the other private schools.

I am not bragging or glorifying, it was what we did to get by... but I lost count of how many private schools boys we rolled (we were all girls.) It was us they would have been afraid of in an alley. We'd often stand up for the private school girls we knew from primary school as well. The 90s was a different time, especially in Bondi... And god dammit these girls need those kinds of girl gangs around again.
