Sexual consent – BBC 5 live Breakfast interview with Nicky Campbell

[Note added 17.10.15 – our award-winning media team has just posted the edited piece onto our YouTube channel – here.]

I’ve just been in a discussion hosted by Nicky Campbell for BBC 5 live Breakfast, on the topic of sexual consent, prompted by yesterday’s story about George Lawlor, a student at Warwick University. Lawlor rightly objected to being invited onto a course about sexual consent.

I debated with Leah Phillips, a PhD student at the University. From her university profile page:

My research focuses on our cultural concern with the adolescent female body, and that body’s presentation and construction in popular media and culture.

We’ll post the discussion on our YouTube library later today.

The following are three of our most-read pieces about rape:

6 dangerous rape myths (Hannah Wallen)

10 reasons false rape allegations are common (Jonathan Taylor)

13 reasons women lie about being raped (Janet Bloomfield)

More than a quarter of sexual offences against people of the opposite sex are committed by women, yet in 2013 only one in every 146 people charged with sexual offences was a woman. Details are in the section on sexual abuse in our election manifesto, pp.31-37.

  1. It beholds anyone in a potential sexual abuse situation to graphically record the activity. (Micro surveillance sYates are avaliable at small costs). Extreme but empirically proven beyond doubt and saving livelihoods, honour and £billions in unnecessary Court cases. It will begin to stop the hormonal imbalances which cause persons to act in this way with greater conscious control.

    But no, the blah de blah will still continue and reality will be ignored.

    If you get asked for a comment again about this or any other issue related to consent workshops perhaps you can ask the presenters/ fems

    “Did anna teriba attend a consent workshop?”
