Do Men Need ‘Consent Lessons’?

Meet George Lawlor, the man who caused an uproar online when he said he didn’t need to take a class to understand what constitutes rape.

We meet the man who caused an uproar online when he said he didn’t need ‘consent lessons’. The classes are on offer in a number of British universities to tackle both rape and sexual assault. We speak to the woman who designed one of the courses, and says they are absolutely necessary.
And we hear from the ‘Man who has it all’, a Twitter account that’s actually a scathing satire of the patronising lifestyle articles usually aimed at women.
Finally, in response to recent violence in Punjab, the #SikhLivesMatter hashtag is gathering pace. But it isn’t being driven by people in India. We meet one of the British Sikhs spearheading the campaign to find out what is behind the trend, and what is motiving its supporters.
