The motion, submitted by Quebec Solidaire (QS) MP Ruba Ghazal along with elected representatives from all parties, also condemns “the hateful campaign.” [à l’égard de Mme Carrier] since the publication of his article.
On November 19, La Presse published a shocking investigation entitled “Misogynistic discourse invades schools,” which described the rise of misogynistic discourse in schools in the context of the online popularity of British-American masculinist influencer Andrew Tate, who a return to traditional gender roles advocated. The latter claims, among other things, that women are “inherently lazy,” that they have “a shared responsibility” if they are victims of sexual assault, and that their value is inversely proportional to the number of sexual partners they have.
Sexist comments in class, tensions between boys and girls: The Center for the Prevention of Violent Radicalization is currently recording an increase in requests for help in schools on gender-specific issues.
Appearing on Radio-Canada’s Tout le monde en parole on Sunday, Ms. Carrier said she received sexist and misogynistic messages after her article was published.
“These offensive comments that I received, in my opinion, prove the validity of the article that says there is normalization in society [des discours misogynes] – and especially in social networks, where there are a lot of young people and over which we have little control. Or not at all,” she said.
