This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 54%. (I'm a bot)
> An Eton College master has been sacked after preparing a lecture which questioned 'current radical feminist orthodoxy'.
> It was made as a virtual lecture to be put on the college's intranet due to the coronavirus crisis, but it was never aired.
> Mr Knowland told the Telegraph: 'The head master felt that some of the ideas put forward in my lecture - such as the view that men and women differ psychologically and not all of those differences are socially constructed - were too dangerous for the boys to be exposed to.
> 'I explained to the head master that I wasn't endorsing all the ideas in my lecture, but I wanted the boys to be made aware of a different point of view to the current radical feminist orthodoxy, which insists that there's something fundamentally toxic about masculinity.
> This is despite his YouTube channel saying: 'I currently work at Eton College, but the statements and opinions on this channel are not necessarily agreed or authorised by Eton College or its subsidiary companies.
> An Eton College spokesman said: 'As this matter is being appealed as part of the college's disciplinary process, it would not be appropriate to comment before a final decision is made.
