Sarah Harte: We need more wonderful women who will speak up for themselves

The fact that many men between 18 and 29 feel ‘real men shouldn’t have to care about women’s feelings’ shows the amount of work to be done regarding attitudes

Broadcaster Kirsty Wark, who was a 'Celebrity MasterChef' contestant in 2011, said Gregg Wallace told sexualised jokes during filming.

It’s amazing how you assume that you have free will to act as you want, and yet so much is decided for us by our early conditioning, with attitudes often passively acquired without deep deliberation following us through life, even when they have no rational basis or are based on prejudice.

Our early conditioning seems to greatly impact how we see ourselves as women and men and what roles we feel we and others should play in society.
