Slide1

Gender Based BullyingSlide2

An

act of intentionally inflicting injury or discomfort upon another person (through physical contact, through words or in other ways) repeatedly and over time for the purpose of intimidation and/or control.

BullyingSlide3

Gender Based Bullying

Homophobic teasing

Using gendered language to call someone weak or scaredSlide4

Homophobic Teasing:

Negative attitudes and

behaviors

directed toward individuals who identify as or are perceived to be lesbian, gay, bisexual, or

transgender. Slide5

Examples

“That’s so gay”Gay in this case is used to mean stupid/bad.

How is that a harmful analogy to make? What ways can you set a different example ?

“No homo”

This is a common phrase used by young people to separate themselves from anything that could be associated with having any sexual orientation other than straight. Slide6

How does bullying based on gender and sexual orientation stereotypes affect young people?

It limits people’s ability to be themselves

When this language goes unchecked by adults, the message for young people is that there is no one that will support them in being themselves. This can cause young people to shut down, stay in the closet, bully other young people, and generally feel isolated and depressed.

This can cause internalized sexism or homophobia. Young people may start to believe that they deserve to be treated badly or like less than their friends or partners.

Slide7

How does gender based bullying affect the bully?

Lack of empathy

Othering people makes us less likely to see them as fully human or deserving of rights.

Power and control

This can lead a bully to want to further assert their power and control later in life, potentially leading to sexual harassment

.Slide8

Gender based bullying leads to Sexual Harassment

The Bully-Sexual Violence Pathway

is an

emerging

theory in which bullying perpetration and homophobic teasing are thought to be predictive of sexual violence perpetration over time.

Sexual

Harassment:

Includes comments, sexual rumor spreading, or groping. Slide9

ASAP Study

This research is focused on one kind of sexual violence, sexual harassment, that does not include forcible acts like rape

.

The

findings of this study do not imply that bullying leads to rape. It suggests that bullying and homophobic teasing are associated with later sexual harassment

Assessment Tools

There are assessment tools that you can use at schools that help assess how bullying is affecting your school

If you are a parent that is noticing bullying in your child’s school, this is a tool that you can bring to your school’s leaders.

As a parent, you can also use some of the assessment tools to do an informal assessment with you children. Slide16

What an Assessment Can Do

Help you know what’s going on. Adults underestimate the rates of bullying because kids rarely report it and it often happens when adults aren’t around. Assessing bullying through anonymous surveys can provide a clear picture of what is going on

.

Target efforts. Understanding trends and types of bullying in your school can help you plan bullying prevention and intervention efforts

.Slide17

What you can do as parents

Talk to the other parents about expectations

Perhaps make group norms with other parents that your children interact with

Be careful not to shut down the language young people use without unpacking the meaning and why it can be harmful

Start conversations with your children and their friends

Why do you use those words?

What does “that’s so gay” mean to you?

Unpack the language being used

Have group ground rules at your house about what words are acceptable and expectations
