The father has a serious look and lays his arm around his son's shoulder. The son is attentive. Father: Son, it is important, that you learn to express your emotions in words as precise as possible. Son: For my emotional development and so that i can communicate my needs in relationships? Father: Yes, that too. But... Son: To break up gender stereotypes and show that men can be emotionally competent as well? Father (raising his finger with a triumphant look): Yes, that too. But first of all, so you can write good alt-texts, if you want to post any pictures online!

With the "widespread misconception about X" you can start at a baseline. like, ok, in tenth grade we all talk about X thing from history, and that leaves us with some misguided concepts about X, but we can correct that as students get broader understandings of the world. But with this, each child is getting UNIQUE wrong facts they are SURE are correct... because they did what we told them to do! they "looked it up"! they got it from somewhere! it's not a kid making up a belief on hearsay and assumption... it's something they think they LEARNED 6599f9adbfab0fed.jpg @stilloranged: this kid was extremely combative with me, and i understood why. i was sitting in front of him and telling him that the internet, a computer, technology, all these supposedly authoritative things... were wrong. and that i, one person, was right. he basically *couldn't* believe me. he decided that i was simply a teacher who'd made a mistake. he could check it, after all! he could look it up! he could find the REAL facts. i obviously hadn't done that, i was just an adult who'd decided i was smarter than him. hence the defensiveness. like i said: i understood. it was so fucking rough. i did my best, but i am one person trying to work against a campaign of misinformation so vast that it fucking terrifies me. this kid is being set up for a life lived entirely inside the hall of mirrors 677365fc220e7109.jpg
