But behind those cases is an even more troubling shift. New research suggests some young men are becoming more hostile towards women, while misogyny and sexual violence is being normalised online.  And with pressure building on leaders and governments across the country to confront it, the question is whether the response is keeping pace with the problem. Today, Minister for Social Services Tanya Plibersek, on the institutions failing women, the forces shaping a generation of boys, and whether governments are doing enough to stop it.   If you enjoy 7am , the best way you can support us is by making a contribution at 7ampodcast.com.au/support .   Socials: Stay in touch with us on Instagram Guest: Social Services Minister Tanya Plibersek Photo:  AAP Image/Mick Tsikas See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/7am-529740/episodes/i-feel-sick-about-it-tanya-plibersek-on-the-swans-scots-college-and-rising-misogyny/transcription-requests` β€” Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/7am-529740/i-feel-sick-about-it-tanya-plibersek-on-the-swans-scots-college-and-rising-misogyny.md` β€” Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
