In this KS4 PSHE lesson, students explore the connection between manipulation, gender dynamics, and harmful beliefs about consent and control. This lesson is based on Adolescence (Episode 3, Part 3).
Titled Her Weakness Made Her More Gettable, this lesson unpacks Jamie’s language and mindset during a pivotal exchange with the psychologist. Students will engage in a Socratic Circle discussion to explore how boys and young men can be socialised into seeing women as targets rather than human beings, and how entitlement and control can escalate into violence. This is a critical opportunity for students to reflect on coercion, rejection, and power.
