Do Men Need 鈥楥onsent Lessons鈥�?

Meet George Lawlor, the man who caused an uproar online when he said he didn鈥檛 need to take a class to understand what constitutes rape.

We meet the man who caused an uproar online when he said he didn鈥檛 need 鈥榗onsent lessons鈥�. 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 鈥楳an who has it all鈥�, a Twitter account that鈥檚 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鈥檛 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.
