Pink Pill: Has women's empowerment gone toxic?


Listen Later

A contestant on Love Island prompts debate over her interactions with the men on the reality TV show. Some viewers suggest Jasmine has been "pink-pilled" - a reference to a mindset that sees women's relationships with men as adversarial, and is a reaction to the manosphere. Others think Jasmine shouldn't be vilified for some of the same traits displayed by men on the show, and in real life. We find out what pink pill content is, and where it came from. Plus, how does this mindset play out in real life? We explore female dating strategy.

Presenter: Adam Fleming

Production team: Simon Tulett, Mhairi MacKenzie, Annabel Deas and Lizzy McNeill
Studio manager: Jack Wilfan
Production coordinator: Janet Staples
Editor: Richard Vadon
