This week the Stanford case reopened the debate about the prevalence of sexual violence against women and the treatment, in court and in society, of victims and perpetrators.
Publicly, all men condemn sexual violence, but what are they doing to bring the culture that encourages it to an end? Not nearly enough, say feminists, writers and friends Sarah Maria Griffin and Roe McDermott.
They are joined on today's podcast by veteran court reporter Conor Gallagher, who talks about the experiences of perpetrators and victims in our own courts of law.
