🇬🇧 Teachers tell schoolboys that 'displaying traditional gendered roles in a family' could lead to them committing RAPE: Almost a third of schools use relationship and sex education classes to tell kids about 'toxic masculinity'
Teachers are telling schoolboys that displaying traditional gendered roles in a family could lead to them committing rape, a bombshell report has claimed.
The report from the Family Education Trust (FET) found that almost a third of schools that it surveyed use relationship and sex education classes to teach pupils about 'toxic masculinity'.
In one schools' teaching materials on the subject, children are told that while masculinity 'in and itself is not necessarily a harmful thing' certain masculine traits can be be seen as 'problematic'.
Another presents a 'pyramid of sexual violence', which suggests that certain minor behaviours such as 'displaying traditional gendered roles' may develop into other examples of 'gender-based violence' such as flashing, groping and even rape.
The FET said that such lessons are teaching pupils about a 'problematic new ideology' that presents the idea that 'boys and men possess traits that are inherently negative for society'.

🇨🇳🛢 Excluding any US-Iran talks about Hormuz, China remains the most important factor for oil prices for the next 60 days or so. All eyes on Beijing.
Ex-China Asian oil imports have recovered to normal levels within the 2023-2025 range. What China does next is crucial.
Last week, I wrote this Opinion column about what China may do next. I see a recovery in oil imports in July and August, but purchases will remain 25% below pre-war levels. Based on my industry soundings, I don't see China stockpiling in the short-term.
Important to note that the (very preliminary) data for July 1-14 shows no recovery whatsoever in Chinese oil imports, with seaborne offloadings running at ~5.5m b/d (below June average), per Vortexa data. That's extraordinary for a country that pre-war was buying 10-12m b/d.
