In the time it took you to click this link, I bet you guessed who Streatham Wells School in southwest London chose, in an effort to "tackle misogyny," as an example of masculinity for their boys.
Mr. Elliot Page!
Not a joke.
A real thing.
And I simply cannot stop laughing!
This project came about because apparently some schools in the UK are having a toxic masculinity problem -- referred to as an "Andrew Tate problem" here -- and they want to squash it. So they're highlighting some men who aren't toxic.
I kid you not, this is a real quote from Sarah Wordlaw, the headteacher at Streatham Wells School:
So moving forward, we are going to continue to work on representation in our curriculum. This is not just representation of the amazing, strong women who have shaped global history, but also representation of positive masculinity. We need to show that to be a man is not to be simply one thing.
To do so we highlight well-known figures such as Harry Styles and Elliot Page. They show that masculinity can mean softness and strength, and everything in between.
THE FIRST MEN ON PLANET EARTH SHE THOUGHT OF WERE A WOMAN AND A BOY-BAND SINGER WHO LIKES TO WEAR DRESSES.
You simply cannot make it up!

It won't surprise you that this Marxist word salad also made the article:
For any project to be successful, it has to lie deep within the fabric of the school's vision. Our curriculum vision statement is simple - to be actively anti-racist, anti-homophobic, anti-sexist, anti-ableist, and to acknowledge intersectionality.
Bro, the UK is cooked!
