In @ConversationEDU I summarise what @netflixth Louis Theroux’s Inside the Manosphere doco shows: the brazen entitlement of influencers, how they recruit boys, the harms to girls & women, and why trauma doesn’t drive or explain misogyny. theconversation.com/louis-therouxs…

Theroux’s new Netflix documentary exposes the 'manfluencers' profiting off male grievance – and hurting both men and women in the process. @SteveRoberts_ @MonashUni theconversation.com/louis-therouxs…

“Given the choice of anyone in the world, whom would you want as a dinner guest?” I was asked that last weekend, and if I had to answer right now, I would say @SuzieMillerWrtr, playwright of Inter Alia. I want to talk through what comes next, to imagine a sequel or a way forward. A new way! This film left me crying for three days. It’s beautiful, but brutal. And it is unsettling in the right kind of way, necessary for change. But I am keen to know, what’s next for us?

Overall, Inter Alia: 5 stars; the patriarchy: 1 star

Time to end the league table deficit narrative – my expert comment on The Educator indicates more ways in which the NAPLAN can be used to address inequity through complex systems thinking approaches that reduce the social-cognitive overload on schools.

Think our school funding model is broken? You’d be right. More than half of all Australian private schools receive more government funding per student than comparable public schools.

Make it make sense.
