From founding the Everyday Sexism Project to unpicking how AI is entrenching misogyny, Laura Bates has become one of the UK's most unflinching feminist voices. In this episode of Full Disclosure, she joins James O'Brien to explore how one devastating week in her early twenties sparked a lifetime of activism- and why storytelling, statistics, and school visits remain central to her mission.Laura traces her path from a bookish childhood to acting ambitions, before recounting the moment a string of seemingly “everyday” experiences of harassment triggered a wider awakening. The conversation spans her battles with media hostility, the evolution of digital misogyny, and the personal toll of online abuse. With clarity and urgency, she discusses how sexism is coded into everything from CV-sorting algorithms to deepfake pornography, and why AI may be the next great battleground for gender equality.Honest, analytical, and deeply human, this conversation delves into what drives Bates to keep going, and what gives her hope for the next generation.Find out more about Laura Bates book,The New Age of Sexism, here
The Netflix show Adolescence opened up the conversation about male violence and the radicalisation of young boys online into the mainstream. But how much do we really know about what young boys are viewing online and the effect is has on them? This week, we're joined by someone whose work has shaped the conversation around gender, power, and the internet for over a decade - writer, activist, and founder of the Everyday Sexism Project, Laura Bates.We were so thrilled to welcome Laura back on the podcast to talk about her brand new book, The New Age of Sexism - an examination of how misogyny is evolving in the digital age. We spoke to her in light of the rise in incel culture, the mainstreaming of online radicalisation, and the links between toxic masculinity and real-world male violence,This conversation touches on some upsetting themes - specifically violence against women and sexual abuse. But Laura gives us practical advice on a personal and policy level to help us eradicate this new wave of gendered hate. We learned so much from this conversation and we hope you will too.Follow @laura_bates__ on InstagramThe New Age of Sexism: How the AI Revolution is Reinventing Misogyny is out on 15th May 2025.

*Trigger warning* we discuss issues around sexual violence, rape and assault in this episode, so please take care while listening. As always, I've put resources in the show notes for anyone who has been affected by the topics discussed. In this live recording of the Sex Talks podcast I wanted to address a question that has been on my mind a lot of late: why do men hate women? It is provocative, I know, and intentionally so. But amidst the seemingly relentless series of news stories about male violence, It is a question I just can't shake from my head. After all, this conversation takes place against a backdrop of ongoing, high profile sexual abuse and rape cases with the likes of Dominuqe Pelicot; Sean ‘Diddy' Combs; the late Mohammed Al Fayed; and the former CEO of Abercrombie & Fitch Mike Jeffries, amongst some of the high profile names currently under investigation for allegedly committing the most unimaginable crimes. What's more, the scale of violence against women and girls is so high police chiefs have declared it a National Emergency here in the UK. So, the purpose of this discussion was thus to try and better understand what is going on, why and what needs to be done now to end this epidemic of violence. I was joined by the brilliant Laura Bates - activist, writer, speaker and journalist. She is also the founder of the Everyday Sexism Project, an ever-increasing collection of over 200,000 testimonies of gender inequality. Launched in 2012, the project raises awareness of sexism, provides a cathartic and empowering space for survivors' stories to be heard and believed, and uses those stories to create real-world change in partnership with politicians, businesses and organisations from the United Nations to the Council of Europe. She is currently writing her 11th book. I was also joined by Ben Hurst, Director of Facilitation at Beyond Equality, an organisation that is rethinking masculinity and engaging men and boys in the gender equality conversation.

Feminist, activist and best-selling author Laura Bates first came to attention as a fierce feminist voice 12 years ago when she started the Everyday Sexism Project. She's since written a slew of brilliant, if enraging, non-fictions about how women and girls are treated, and quite rightly become a bona fide icon. In this episode, she's chatting to our Mick about the grim state of the world when it comes to male violence against women and girls, how she holds onto hope, why she's reimagining the Arthurian legends in her YA novels Sisters of Sword and Shadow and Sisters of Fire and Fury, and the importance of finding feminist joy. Oh, and how she's a dab hand at horseback archery these days. Sisters of Fire and Fury is published by Simon & Schuster on October 10. www.laurabates.co.uk Learn more about your ad choices.

I flere lande er det ulovligt, at manden fjerner kondomet i smug under samleje. Fænomenet kaldes "stealthing", men er ikke nævnt i den danske lovgivning. Det mener flere organisationer er for dårligt. Skal "stealthing" være ulovligt i Danmark, eller vil det være unødvendigt mange ressourcer at bruge på det, når det er svært at bevise? Det debatterer vi i dagens program. Vi spørger også, om kvinder skal have værnepligt på lige vilkår som mænd, og om det er udemokratisk, at Kongehuset har nære bånd til dele af erhvervslivet. Medvirkende: Sofie Lindholm, værnepligtigt rådsmedlem i Værnepligtsrådet. Christian Holst Vigilius, landsformand for Konservative Ungdom. Zen Donen, talsperson for Everyday Sexism Project.

I denne episode af manosfæren har vi besøg af Laura Bates, der er stifter af Everyday Sexism Project og hvis bog ”Men who hate Women”, der handler om manosfæren, netop er blevet udgivet på dansk. Da Laura i november besøgte København, i forbindelse med lanceringen af bogen, mødte vi hende til en samtale om hvordan hun selv stødte på manosfæren, hvordan hun har set at særligt unge teenagedrenge hives ind i antifeministiske og kvindefjendske digitale universer og hvad hun mener vi kan gøre for at få dem ud igen.Du kan bestille den danske oversættelse af Laura Bates bog Mænd som hader kvinder hos forlaget Rebel with a cause via deres hjemmeside https://rebelwithacause.dk/Vært og Cybernaut Maia Kahlke Lorentzen har skrevet efterordet til bogen om den dansksprogede manosfære som du kan læse her https://cybernauterne.dk/blog/manosfaeren-i-danmark/Manosfæren er en serie af Cybernauternes podcast, hvor vi sætter fokus på de digitale rum hvor mænd mødes og diskuterer køn og maskulinitet - og er enten kritiske overfor, eller direkte modstandere af feminismen.

This week's podcast features a former guest Laura Bates, who is the founder of the Everyday Sexism Project, an ever-increasing collection of over 200,000 testimonies of gender inequality, with branches in 25 countries worldwide. Laura writes regularly for the Guardian, Telegraph and the New York Times amongst others and won a British Press Award for her journalism in 2015. She has written numerous books, and her latest Fix The System Not The Women is near and dear to our hearts with its message. When it comes to gender inequality, most people can agree that we need to tackle obvious forms of discrimination, like sexual harassment and sexual assault. But this agreement doesn't always extend to covert forms of discrimination, like consistently devaluing women's contributions in a team meeting, or only asking women on a team to take notes. But we have to appreciate the interrelationship between different forms of sexism and discriminatory systems. As Laura put it in a piece for the Guardian “It is vital to resist those who mock and criticize us for tackling “minor” manifestations of prejudice, because these are the things that normalize and ingrain the treatment of women as second-class citizens, opening the door for everything else, from workplace discrimination to sexual violence.” If we are going to solve inequality, we have to address the various ways that it shows up, at work and the workplace is a really important part of this equation. Discussions like today's can feel overwhelming but there is always something we can do to effect positive change. Yes gender inequality is a systemic issue, but it's created through the beliefs, behaviors and interactions we each engage in, which means we have the power, collectively, to dismantle it. Laura shared some important actions we can all do more of. Action One: Raise our voices and demand the system needs to change. Too often inequality is taken for granted as the way things are, but when we question this and call it out we raise awareness of what needs to change. Action Two: Lend your voices to support active change, place your signature on that campaign. For example, Laura shared that the Center for Women's Justice is running a campaign where they are pushing for a statutory inquiry into misogyny within policing. So that's something that all of us can support and lend our voices to, our signatures to that petition. Action Three: Stop blaming others within the workplace and focusing on individuals when things happen, to dismantle inequality we all need to take small consistent acts each and every day. The Everyday Sexism Project Fix The System Not The Women
Laura Bates is the founder of the revolutionary Everyday Sexism Project. For the last decade, the website has provided a space for women to speak up about their experiences of sexism.Bates' latest book, Fix the System, Not the Women exposes the ways that women are blamed for the violence and oppression inflicted upon us.Why did she walk home alone at night? Why is she not doing enough to secure her place at the table? Why haven't women overcome all the odds stacked against us?Bates tells Laura Kelly and Eliza Pitkin that this blame game has distracted us from the real problem: the failings and biases of a society that was just not built for women. In this edition of BetterPod she discusses the solutions that already exist to make the future better for women – if only they'd be enacted.BetterPod is brought to you by The Big Issue's Future Generations team.

(02:00) 59 gange i løbet af de seneste ti Roskilde Festivaler er politiet rykket ud til voldtægtssager. To gange er sagerne endt med en dom, viser en aktindsigt Politiken har lavet. På festivaller er der en opfattelse af, at man bevæger sig i et frirum uden for hverdagens regler og ofte også en seksualiseret maskulinitetskultur. Kombineret med at mange mennesker drikker alkohol og fester sammen, skaber det risiko for seksualiseret vold. Gæster: Morten Therkildsen, sikkerhedschef på Roskilde Festival og Zen Donen, jurist og bestyrelsesmedlem i Everyday Sexism Project. (17:10) Diskussionen om afbrænding af heksedukker til Sankt Hans tager til i disse år, fordi folk opfatter heksen som symbol på noget forskelligt.

In response to an article I read this week, I look at the rising backlash against the #metoo movement, partly due to the recent court case between Amber Heard and Johnny Depp. I also explore the work of Laura Bates and the Everyday Sexism Project.
Welcome back to Series 3 of Good Influence!This is the podcast where each week we'll meet a guest who'll help us pay attention to something we should know about, but maybe don't.

This episode does feature issues on language related to gender discrimination as well as serious sexual and physical violence.

Den regel blev faktisk allerede indført i Danmark sidste år, og er også en del af den seneste 18. sæson, der havde premiere i denne uge. Men giver thumbs up-metoden mening, når deltagerne er fulde?

Yasmin's guest this week hardly needs introduction – we're speaking to feminist icon Laura Bates. Laura is founder of The Everyday Sexism Project, a catalogue of day-to-day instances of sexism and gender inequality. Laura talks us through the events that led to her setting up the project – events that were so everyday, so commonplace, that she almost didn't notice. On her website, Laura describes these types of incidents as “so-used-to-it-you-almost-just-accept-it sexism”. But, as she explains to Yasmin, she couldn't just accept it – and so one of the greatest feminists of our time got going! Yasmin talks to Laura about her work with the legal industry – an industry that often doesn't think it has a problem with sexism; that doesn't believe harassment and inequality can happen to lawyers. They also discuss her new book, Men Who Hate Women – a shocking exploration of extreme misogyny. Find out more at tr.com/TheHearing

It seems to be increasingly difficult to talk about sexism, equality, and women's rights in a modern society that perceives itself to have achieved gender equality. When women or men complain about everyday sexism or suggest that you are unhappy about the way in which women are portrayed and perceived renders you likely to be labeled difficult or uptight. Laura Bates, founder of the Everyday Sexism Project has spearheaded a global movement to raise awareness of the day-to-day experiences of sexism women have to endure. Through the project, Laura has cataloged stories from hundreds of women detailing their experiences of sexism. Solving inequality starts with tackling it. On this episode, Laura Bates will be joining us to discuss the project and how you can take action to eradicate everyday sexism.

I dagens program ser vi på, hvordan hvordan den seneste Metoo bølge forsøger at gøre op med en underliggende antagelse om, at kvinder ikke har samme rettigheder som mænd, og hvordan kønsstereotyper og forskelsbehandling af kønnene er indlejret i vores sprog.

Laura Bates is founder of the Everyday Sexism Project. In her latest book – Men Who Hate Women - she traces the roots of extreme misogyny across a complex network of online groups - extending from Men's Rights Activists and Pick up Artists to Men Going their Own Way, Trolls and the Incel movement. She explains how they operate and how she hopes drawing parallels with other extremist movements around the world will help us to understand what makes them attractive to men and boys.. Women – and specifically young women – have always been hugely over-represented when it comes to debt. Since the pandemic, charities are hearing from more and more who find themselves in financial difficulty. Anna who’s now 22 shares how she's managed to clear considerable debt. Sue Anderson from debt charity Step Change talks bout the trends they’re seeing when it comes to women and money. Plus financial campaigner Alice Tapper on why she thinks the increasing use of ‘buy-now-pay-later’ methods need much more scrutiny,. This week is Rheumatoid Arthritis Awareness Week. It's a disease that affects three times more women than men under the age of 65. Women tend to develop it younger than men, with symptoms typically appearing between the ages of 30 and 50 – some can even start to develop it in their teens. So what’s it like to be a young woman living with the condition? Yulanda Sabrina is a singer and was diagnosed five years ago at the age of 28. She speaks to Jenni along with Clare Jacklin, Chief Executive of the National Rheumatoid Arthritis Society. Presenter Jenni Murray Producer Beverley Purcell
Danmark får en ny samtykke baseret voldtægtslovgivning. Det betyder, at der ikke længere skal udøves fysisk vold eller tvang, før at der er tale om en voldtægt. Nu er det en voldtægt, hvis man har sex med en person, der ikke har givet samtykke. Og i modsætning til hvad blandt andet midaldrende TV2-værter har delt på Facebook, behøver det hverken være et skriftligt eller mundtligt samtykke, der er tale om. Samtykket kan ifølge aftalepapiret også godt være bevægelser eller gensidig berøring. Men hvad betyder det i praksis? KLUB er et kulturprogram, og derfor vil vi forsøge at blive klogere på, hvad der gør en voldtægt ifølge den nye lov ved at kigge på en række filmscener. Vi kommer omkring alt fra Blade Runner til Brokeback Mountain og mange flere. På den måde kan vi samtidig finde ud af om filmhistorien er fyldt med uventede voldtægtsforbrydere.Sammen med jurist fra Everyday Sexism Project, Zen Anne Donen, og forkvinde i Dansk Kvindesamfund, Helena Gleesborg Hansen, kigger vi på en række sexscener, eller måske skulle vi sige mulige voldtægtsscener, og diskuterer om her umiddelbart er tale om en voldtægt ifølge den nye lovgivning. Værter: Ida Gaunø og Frederik Westergaard

Det her er historien om en Facebookgruppe. Om hverdagssexisme, online-aktivisme, modstand, og fællesskab. Jeg har fulgt gruppen Stop Sexisme, fra den spæde start i 2013 og frem til deres 4 års jubilæumsfredagsbar. Under navnet The Everyday Sexism Project Danmark (ESPD) etablerede Dansk Kvindesamfund – i samarbejde med journalist Irene Manteufel – i august 2013 den danske afdeling af det britiske The Everyday Sexism Project. I første omgang i form af et website og en lukket gruppe på Facebook, hvor man kan dele sine oplevelser med sexisme. Følelsen af fællesskab voksede hurtigt, og efter et par måneder begyndte gruppens medlemmer at mødes OFF-Line til fredagsbar. Projektet blev en overvældende succes. Det satte i den grad dagsordenen i ligestillingsdebatten, og var afgørende for den nye opblomstring af feminisme og aktivisme i Danmark. Og i september 2014, blev det tildelt Suzanne Gieses Mindelegat. I november 2014 blev The Everyday Sexism Project Danmark delt op i to selvstændige enheder, hvor Dansk Kvindesamfund fortsatte med Facebook-gruppen under navnet Stop Sexisme. Og administratorer og medlemmer mødtes stadig til fredagsbar. Du finder gruppen her. De medvirkende var: Administratorer og medlemmer af Stop Sexisme. Hvis du kunne lide hvad du hørte, så kan du støtte Femicast på 10er.dk - så kan jeg producere endnu flere afsnit. Femicast er produceret af Siri Bonde.

Sarah Brown talks to Laura Bates, British feminist writer and Founder of the Everyday Sexism Project. At the age of 25, Laura found herself the unexpected figure-head of a rapidly growing movement, and rose to the challenge admirably. Founded in 2012, the Everyday Sexism Project website is a forum for women and girls to post their own personal experiences of sexism. As the number of women posting on the website rose into the thousands, Laura took it upon herself to respond by mastering the statistics on gender inequality and violence against women, and publishing and speaking publicly on the issues. Laura's book, Everyday Sexism, was published in 2014. Through her writing and public speaking, Laura continues to emphasise the point that whatever progress has been made in feminism, there remains a wealth of unfairness and overt-sexism still to be addressed.
Sarah Brown chats to Sir Patrick Stewart, Ed Balls, Christy Turlington Burns, and Laura Bates, who share their personal experiences of mastering the challenges of public speaking and their activist voice. The programme investigates how to find the confidence, courage and skills to speak out on an issue you care passionately about. Featuring world renowned actor Sir Patrick Stewart, super-model and maternal health campaigner Christy Turlington Burns, politician, economist and dancer Ed Balls, and feminist writer and Everyday Sexism Project founder, Laura Bates.

Laura Bates, journalist and curator of the Everyday Sexism Project, explains to Matthew Parris why the 19th century children's author Louisa May Alcott has her vote for a Great Life. They are joined by Sarah Churchwell, Professor of American Literature at the University of East Anglia. Louisa May Alcott is best known as the writer of "Little Women", the story of four sisters growing up during the Civil War in America. Generations of girls have read the book, which at first sight seems to be an improving tract on growing up and becoming a good Christian wife. Both Laura and Sarah have a very different reading of the book and believe Louisa May Alcott to have been a remarkable woman and a dedicated feminist. Producer Christine Hall First heard on BBC Radio 4 in 2014.
Laura Bates, founder of the Everyday Sexism Project, explains how it came about, and its effects.
Victoria speaks to the journalist who set up the Everyday Sexism Project. The website, set up about a year ago, invites women to submit any experience they have had of sexism via email or Twitter.
