I heard it. Two parts, the first about a series of murders of butch lesbians in Chile. No real conclusions arrived at but a suggestion that they are down to the far right.
Second section involved the lesbian couple beaten up on a bus earlier this year. The one who spoke didn't seem to say much – just talked about how it would take her time to get over it. Clearly this hadn't developed into a very interesting story so the presenter brought in lesbian friends of his, Becky and Bex, who talked about how groups of men in cars would call 'dyke' at them in the street, or men on dance floors in clubs would gather round and ask 'are you a couple' if they had a kiss. From all this it was concluded that people don't take lesbian relationships seriously, which I thought was a stretch, frankly.
At no point in any of this was feminism, misogyny, sexual politics or the influence of pornography bought into the discussion. There was no informed psycho-political analysis of why some men hate or are obsessed by or want to attack lesbian women. No one pointed out that a group of non-lesbian girls or women on the street are also likely to have sexual insults hurled at them or to be beaten up by teenage boys if they don't do what they're told to do.
It was one of the lamest programmes on lesbians and the dangers of being a lesbian I've ever heard. I'm of an older generation and the lesbians I know, in their 40s and 50s and 60s, would have a very clear explanation of what had happened. But the woke young contributors didn't seem to have heard of feminism. Megha Mohan, the BBC's Gender and Identity correspondent introduced the first segment and Matthew Price introduced the second.
It's as if feminism and women's rights and the whole history of lesbianism has been completely written out. The BBC seems determined to pretend that gender politics has never existed.
