What’s going on between young men and girls?

0 comments

We feature a lot of stories on this site about violence against women – whether in the form of female genital mutilation, case domestic violence or rape.

This comment piece by Hugh Muir in the Guardian says that, salve as a society, see we need to ask what is going on with the interaction between young men and girls. He argues that it's something more than just misogyny and it's not just generational, but something darker like a parallel world. 

"Boys who treat girls as sexual functionaires, group chattel. Girls who, unable to cope with the pressures placed upon them, buy into the wretched deal".

He points out that we are making a lot of fuss about boys. And rightly so. But we are not thinking enough about the girls. Where's the support, he asks, for them?

Where indeed?
