Abstract
Teachers are deeply affected by the same cultural influences as their students; directly and indirectly. This is certainly true in the rise of masculinity influencer, extremist, and alleged sex trafficker Andrew Tate and the brands of individual and cultural misogyny he perpetuates. Using data collected from the /r/Teachers subreddit community of Reddit.com, we explored how users discussed the influences of a (re)surging misogyny on the jobs of teachers and in classrooms. Users express that students are actively parroting male supremacist rhetorics at school and that is serving to devalue women teachers and make classrooms less safe. Discussion is framed using Deleuzian and masculinities theories to provide deeper analysis and interpretation of the data. We suggest that there is cause for concern regarding the immediate impacts, as well as long-term consequences of masculinist and male supremacist ideologies on youth, teachers, and schools.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
