Mara Yamauchi marathon runner interviewed at 1.08 about Sarah Everard and women's safety. Keep listening. Brilliant.

Wow, Mara's fantastic!

Campbell: It's a hugely toxic issue...

FemaleAndLearning · 01/10/2021 21:58

Bloody brilliant.

There was a discussion on twitter about the programme and Campbell joined in:

It's instructive how he's struggling to find his "safe space" in the debate wanting to appear impartial but to not frighten the horses*.

  • these particularly horses that issue death threats, attack in packs, and seek to ruin people's reputations and careers

Have I given the right link? It's the Nicky Campbell 'Your Call' show started at 9am. Talking about Sarah Everard but no Mara so far...

ItsRainingProstateHavers · 01/10/2021 21:45

She was brilliant!!

Man: It’s so awful, what can we do to make women feel safe?
Woman: Well men can listen. We need single sex spaces for women to feel safe.
Man: Yes but you’re worrying about nothing, it’s never going to happen. It’s a different issue.

🙄🙄🙄 straight off the bat dismissed.

She's awesome - I knew her a long time ago and she was always feisty Smile

Loved when she countered that Couzens was a tiny majority but Sarah Evarard is still dead.

@Kendodd basically the question was what can men do to help. There was some polite back and forth before Mara said uphold single sex spaces.

Nicky floundered and mumbled about the matter affecting a tiny tiny minority. I’m sure I heard the panic in his voice as he desperately deployed platitudes, lest anyone accuse him of transphobia by association Hmm

334bu · 01/10/2021 21:40

She was absolutely brilliant . Nicky really didn't know what hit him.

Kendodd · 01/10/2021 21:35

I can't listen.
Can you sum it up for me?

Ereshkigalangcleg · 01/10/2021 21:32

I listened to that earlier. She blindsided him Grin
