Brauer College is a government secondary school, located in Warrnambool, Victoria, Australia.

Originally established as Warrnambool Technical School in 1911, the school was renamed Brauer College at the beginning of 1990 (after noted 20th-century Warrnambool doctor, Alfred Brauer), to reflect its change from a technical institution into a more mainstream college. Brauer has since developed into a large secondary school with an enrollment of approximately 850 students ranging from years 7 to 12.

Jane Boyle has been principal of the College since 2012.

2007

In 2007, the college received extended media attention regarding its unique "two brick rule". The rule, which stated that students of the opposite sex could not come within two brick lengths of each other, was designed to eliminate greetings such as hugging, for fear that this might lead to sexual contact.[1][2]

2021

The college received widespread media attention in March 2021 after it required male students as young as 11 to stand during a school assembly and 'apologise' for their gender to the female students. This caused a backlash from parents who [3][4] reported that their sons were confused as to why everybody would look at them as predators.[5][6]

School principal, Jane Boyle, has resisted calls to resign but has issued an apology, admitting the assembly was " inappropriate ". She has not however, accepted responsibility for violating school policy .[7][8]

Misandry

Misandry is the hatred of, pathological aversion to, or prejudice against men.[9] The first recorded use of the term dates from the 19th century.[10] At the present time misandry is widespread in Western society but may be in decline.

These days it seems you don't need to look far to see negativity focused at men. What is often known as casual misandry permeates western civilisation where many men and women commonly make negative statements about men without apparently regarding this as a problem or being challenged by anyone else present. This problem has steadily deteriorated and we have now reached the point that books with titles such as Are Men Necessary? When Sexes Collide[11] and The End of Men[12] can be published without significant objection from the wider community.

Negative and inaccurate portrayals of men and boys have permeated mainstream media and online knowledge repositories such as Wikipedia, where the bias is particularly evident. Wikipedia editors routinely write negative commentaries about men and Wikipedia admins protect those commentaries while censoring counter-narratives that might show less biased, more accurate information. This practice is reinforced by feminist editing gangs who congregate in regular 'edit-a-thons'[13][14][15] with the sole purpose of increasing feminist ideology within Wikipedia articles, and to censor male-positive discourse and research on men. In a nutshell those in control of Wikipedia have succeeded in deplatforming much reliable information about men and boys.
