I've NC for this as my details are super outing.
I have a Y11 form and one of the (kind, smart, well behaved) girls is extremely pro-choice. And a few of the (sexist) boys in Y11 (some in my form, some not in my form) are extremely anti-choice. It's an ongoing issue that abortion issues are discussed and the girl is very much "[Boy name] you don't get to have a say or valid opinion on what women do with their bodies". She very much peddles this line consistently as she doesn't think it should even be up for debate especially not with males. When the boys bang on with their anti-choice rhetoric she's called them out for their misogyny, using the word 'misogyny' a few times.
Now two male colleagues who teach this girl and are witness to these discussions have put her on report for her 'aggressive and sexist behaviour'
I vehemently disagree with this and think that if anyone is to be put on report, it's the several boys who keep provoking her and pushing their hateful sexist views. I have had so many arguments about this with these colleagues, one of whom is head of year so has overruled my wishes and put her on report. Her parents are furious. Rightly so. I'm furious. Why the fuck can't women stick up for women's rights without being called sexist?
I've asked for a meeting with the Head to get a clear line about this because I'm appalled she's been labelled as aggressive. But I wanted to ask if anyone ever sees this kind of misogyny with colleagues? We all know it's rife with male pupils but I expect better of male teachers
