Listen Later

This episode contains discussion of sexual assault, rape, murder and coercive control. It won't be suitable for all audiences. Please, look after yourselves first – if you don't feel able for this discussion, maybe skip this one. xo R&B


Things we mention include:

  • the civil case taken by Nikita Hand against Conor McGregor
  • the murder of Laiken Riley
  • Gisèle Pelicot and the mass rape trial in France involving 50+ men from of her own community
  • Germaine Greer, shutting down the idea that a woman shouldn't be president because she menstruates
  • Women, Language and Power by Susannah Baldwin
  • Kathleen Correia, whose husband was jailed for eight years for coercive control
  • Jade Rasmussen, whose ex boyfriend assaulted her and had his sentence suspended and his "happy marriage" used as evidence of… something we don't quite understand
  • Y: The Last Man, a graphic novel Beatrice recommends
