I’ve been holding back on talking about Adolescence, not wanting to add to the noise for noise's sake. But after watching the discourse unfold, the victim blaming, the misinformation, the lack of real action, I can’t stay silent.

This episode dives deep into the normalised ways we excuse male violence while holding girls to impossible standards. From the online response to Adolescence to the everyday messages we send girls about keeping quiet, keeping the peace, and putting their safety second, I’m calling it out.

Why are we so quick to scrutinise women’s reactions but not men’s intentions? Why are we blaming Katie instead of the boy who calculatedly inserted himself into her life? And why, when given the opportunity to take real action, do so many people still sit on their hands?

Tune in to join the conversation on making change happen!
