Thanks Blondes. I might have to get that later on catch up.

Interesting! Will have to be a catch up though...10pm on a school night?!

Guessing rape /May show scenes

Bump

Watched it and think it should be shown in all secondary schools as a warning.

Will watch this tonight

Anyone else see it

I watched this today, definitely should be shown in secondary schools. It really worries me as have two daughters of 14/16. Luckily they've not started the parties etc. My son is 18, at uni, he's spoke about behaviour and how friends of his ha e acted towards girls.

It was really effective, yet horrible, where the boys were texting.

Im def intrigued now

Will put mini blondes to bed then watch

Wow. This was really good as in img is this what teenagers behave like now

As I wasn't like that

Tho also I am not male

But totally agree should be shown to all at secondary school

I was in high school in the late 1980s This is worse than then

Boy=bad girl=innocent victim

But it's not really like that, is it? Both parties got stinking drunk and drugged up. She was all over him as he was her. I ended up feeling sorry for them both.
The lesson to be learned here is not to avoid being a rapist or a victim; it is to avoid getting so drunk that you don't know what you are doing. And to avoid creeps like Archie.

Yes she's shouldn't have for so drunk

But in this story he had intention due to his friends

He delib videoed it

To show off

He raped her but did the oh woe is me she wanted it

And she was passed out

Haven’t seen the program yet but nice but of victim blaming there. 😩

Oh I didn't feel sorry for them both!!
But shocked at that really

I think by the end it was pretty clear who was in the wrong!

I was absolutely throughout the whole thing by the lads. Is this really how boys speak?!

I have this taped not watched yet. Just wondering would people think it was suitable/ appropriate for a 15 year old girl to watch?

@Dulra yes def

As it would be a good lesson for her to know

If that makes sense

How to be careful at parties

To make sure stay with friends etx

The lesson to be learned here is not to avoid being a rapist or a victim; it is to avoid getting so drunk that you don't know what you are doing.

I’ve watched this now. So in a program where you very clearly see what happens at the end this is what you took away from it? It is this very kind of toxic and misogynistic view that perpetuates rape culture and maintains the culture of male sexual entitlement. Work needs to be done with boys, preferably as young as possible, that will prevent them feeling they can or want to treat girls as sexual commodities.

Unfortunately our criminal system discriminates against victims of sexual abuse of every kind; the onus is on the woman to show how they avoided being the victim rather than on the perpetrator proving they didn't do it. Saying that the girl needs to bear responsibility because she got too drunk and she couldn’t stop herself from being raped is the kind of bollocks you’d hear Andrew Tate spouting. Very very damaging.

This was excellent, but really worrying. The attitude of the boys is just so different from when I was a teenager (90s). I think back then they were more scared and confused than we were. They talked the talk, but I honestly don’t remember any girl I knew being assaulted by a boy her own age. Cheated on, messed around, humiliated, yes. But this is a new level. And it’s clearly down to the biggest change- social media and the ubiquity of porn. Terrifying.

I'm glad mini blondes is only 5

And I don't have to deal with boys behaviour for hopefully another 10yrs

By which time I will hopefully educate her enough

And make sure she knows I will always pick her up no matter where and what time if she needs me

By which time I will hopefully educate her enough

It’s the boys that need educating not the girls. Toxic masculinity, misogyny, rape culture, victim blaming, slut shaming, enthusiastic consent, porn; it all needs to be covered in PSHE lessons the moment they start secondary school.

Totally agree @Rollergirl11

But I can also educate dd how to stay safe if possible

My DD (14) said she didn't want to go out with a lad because she'd be called a slag. I've told her that it's an awful word to say. How mysogonyistic it is, as boys wouldn't be called that. I then had her say to me yesterday how a lad keeps asking her out, she has countless times told him no, bit he won't take no for an answer. I've told her he clearly has no respect for her wishes and if she went out with someone like that, he wouldn't respect her at all. It's such a scary age.
