Welcome to Intelligent Square, where great minds meet. I'm senior producer Mia Sorenti. What does it mean for women to be heard at a time when speaking out can come at an increasingly high cost? Today's episode is part one of our recent panel discussion with Jess Phillips, Juliette Nicholson, and Joanna Scanman. They joined us to discuss the new threats facing women in modern culture and what has changed since the rise of the Me Too movement.
Nearly a decade after Me Too promised a profound shift in attitudes towards women, the panel examines a more complicated picture. From the rise of the Manosphere and violence against women and girls, to the role of social media in shaping how women speak and are heard. Together they ask what progress has been made, where it has stalled and what it will take for women's voices to carry real power in twenty twenty-six. A brief content warning for this discussion, which contains some explicit language and discussions of sexual and domestic violence. Let's join our host, BBC News editor Katie Razzle, now with more.
