Blurred Lines: The New Battle of the Sexes

 

There’s been a wave of disgusting online abuse directed at women in the public eye recently but is this just an example of free speech? Should women “man up” and ignore sexually explicit insults? Or do these offensive comments reflect changing attitudes that have far-reaching effects for women?

Kirsty Wark’s investigation into online trolls and the toll of their grubbier postings is, inevitably, shocking, as we’re bombarded by graphic insults, images and jokes that appear to have at their core a deep hatred of women. Mary Beard was the target of some especially unpleasant tweets when she appeared on Question Time. As she points out, “My views on anything are irrelevant to the size or shape of my vagina.”

What concerns Wark most is that young people are becoming immune to misogyny, accepting as normal representations of women as submissive sexual objects in violent video games and pornography. “We need a culture of mutual respect,” she says, but if sexist abuse really is a way to earn approval from your peers, it seems unlikely.

 

ABOUT THIS PROGRAMME

Kirsty Wark explores whether there is a new culture in which some men think they have the freedom and the right to use sexist and misogynist language to attack women. The Newsnight presenter examines everything from bomb threats sent to those campaigning for more women to feature on banknotes to explicit pop videos, and from extreme `laddism' at universities to rape jokes in the schoolyard.

An ex met her years ago. Said that her face was actually more attractive than on the TV but that she was incredibly tiny with massive tits that made her look like a doll more than a real person.

 

I failed to mention that I did not think that this was a problem

You might have mentioned that this was not a problem, hence why she's your ex.
