Nikita Hand, Conor McGregor and the Myth of the 'Perfect' Victim

Not Without My Sister

This episode contains discussion of sexual assault, rape, murder and coercive control. It won't be suitable for all audiences. Please, look after yourselves first – if you don't feel able for this discussion, maybe skip this one. xo R&B

Things we mention include:

• the civil case taken by Nikita Hand against Conor McGregor
• the murder of Laiken Riley
• Gisèle Pelicot and the mass rape trial in France involving 50+ men from of her own community
• Germaine Greer, shutting down the idea that a woman shouldn't be president because she menstruates
• Women, Language and Power by Susannah Baldwin
• Kathleen Correia, whose husband was jailed for eight years for coercive control
• Jade Rasmussen, whose ex boyfriend assaulted her and had his sentence suspended and his "happy marriage" used as evidence of… something we don't quite understand
• Y: The Last Man, a graphic novel Beatrice recommends
