Get all the juice in this week’s Sketch!

#R4Today

Is there some connection to the fact the #UK government is so relaxed about our allies electing a #rapist as their president, or allowing their troops to #rape prisoners?

In such a world, aren’t we more likely to nominate #Travelodge for the #FIFAPeacePrize?

Opinion: Boys are being groomed online by manosphere grifters and Ofcom must step up - Bedford Independent MPs have urged Ofcom to act on manosphere harms targeting boys and young men. Protecting boys online strengthens the fight...

Opinion: For years, too many adults have treated the content pumped out by these grifters as banter, a phase, or something boys will grow out of, when in fact, boys have been growing into it...

That for all the noise made about #vawg, about 40% of domestic violence occurs to males and 66% of murder victims are male.

I'm doing a documentary about FGM in the UK. If any survivors would like to provide their stories please DM me. Everyone would remain anonymous #FGM #VAWG

STORM founder Marie Hanson met with Tooting MP @drrosena.bsky.social earlier this week.

Thank you to Dr Rosena for inviting us to speak at a roundtable discussion on tackling Violence Against Women and Girls.

Forgotten BBC manosphere documentary scarier than Louis Theroux's Fronted by James Blake, the hour-long film exposes a heartbreaking side to the manosphere's influence

Before #LouisTheroux on Netflix there was this BBC documentary which shifts the focus from influencers to the young men shaped by manosphere content

AI chatbots are being linked to new forms of violence against women & girls - enabling harassment, stalking and abuse
