Nicky Campbell interviews Mike Buchanan and a feminist about sexual consent – BBC 5 live Breakfast

My thanks to our award-winning media team for loading this onto our YouTube channel. In the information panel I’ve added links to three articles about false rape allegations, and further reading on the sexual abuse of men by women, crimes for which women are rarely charged – even when they’re charged and convicted, they generally receive suspended sentences i.e. no punishment whatsoever.

Women know that in this area as in others – such as paternity fraud – they’re above the law.

  1. Why were only female students asked if they thought this compulsory “consent class”
    was “useful”.
    Were men’s voices censored, or were they simply not given the chance to speak in the first place over concern they might not give the ‘right’ answer – a much used feminist tactic?
    One may think it comes to the same thing in the end, but it would be interesting to know if the location interviewer (a man) had been given those instructions in the first place, or whether the decision was made later in the studio.
    On balance, I’m inclined to go with the latter.
    As an ex studio worker myself there is that extra layer of interest there – what does anyone else think?

  2. women lack ability in the field of science,but they surely made science out of something as simple as sexual consent. it’s a fair bet to say the majority of men accused of this ‘crime’are completely innocent blokes,living in an era of hysterical feminism.

  3. ‘Official’ heterosexual social, romantic and sexual activity sounds these days to be about as much fun as waiting in the trenches in the Somme for an officer to blow a whistle indicating that everyone should charge out into the mud, blood and hail of bullets.

    Seriously, I might worry for the future of the species were it not for the fact that I know that life goes on and the romancing gets done in exactly the same manner that most real work gets done – by real people, somewhere else, without fuss, while those who are supposed to be ‘in charge’ sit and argue about how it ought to be done. Like keeping the lights on and the streets clean, the very future of the species has now become wholly incidental in nature and entirely the business of the worker-ants who just get on and do it without first asking for instructions on the minutiae of the process. One step forward, two steps back.

  4. In listening to this the process appeared to go; that the report and Nicky regard the idea as sensible help ,the feminist confirms this by popping in some side comments about men being vulnerable. Mike points out that rape is very rare in terms of cases in the legal system and that often other statistics are about a big range of behaviour. Feminist defends with comments about bum touching in clubs. It ends with Nicky wanting to pursue this incongruity in the feminist’s narrative “surely touching in clubs and rape aren’t the same” segment ends not a moment too soon for the now less “reasonable” feminist who thus avoids having to explain how touching in clubs is the same as rape.
    Given Nicky is sort of the person in the street who will assume a discussion about consent and rape is about situations of force or coercion. They will not know that the Sexual offences act changed rape in law to make consent central rather than coercion. Even this broadening has meant rape remains a rare crime.
    Hence Mike was so right to point out there is not an epidemic of rape cases and that other behaviours are the mainstay of the inflated stats bandied by feminists as “rape”.
    I think this is so important because so often the feminists “win” the debate because generally they aren’t forced to reveal their very wide idea of “rape”. Thus it is easy for them to cast opposition as being in favour of burly guys forcing themselves on vulnerable young women, rather than touching in clubs or unwanted compliments. One could hear the change in Nicky’s voice and questioning once he clocked that it wasn’t consent and rape as commonly understood that was being taught about.
    Frankly with a daughter at uni. I’d be quite happy for her to have been to a workshop that resulted in her feeling “more confident to say what I want and don’t want to do” as an interviewee said. So why would I object? The point is of course that’s not what its really about but this isn’t immediately obvious unless flushed out.

  5. Isn’t rape less common at universities than in the general population anyway? Universities are already hostile environments for males, this is just an attempt to make the problem even worse.
