Radicalised Adolescence? Hit series sparks calls to counter toxic masculinity • FRANCE 24 English

The Netherlands now following the UK in launching initiatives to show Netflix's four-part series Adolescence in middle schools while France's education ministry ponders tighter controls on teens exposed to hate speech and porn. We’ll ask about a fiction inspired by real life cases of boys who went so far as to murder girls.Tragic outliers or a genuine trend? A decade ago already, this very show was grappling with the issue of parents shocked to discover that their teens had self-radicalized online in their bedrooms? Back then we were talking about jihadism now it’s about fears that men are somehow being cancelled or replaced, an allegation amplified by the likes of influencer Andrew Tate, recently sprung from a Romanian jail after alleged pressure from the Trump administration. Have we gone from bro culture to a war of the sexes a war against women that starts at a young age and what to do about it?
