Today, Lucretia chats to Dr Michael Flood, an internationally-recognised researcher on men, masculinity, gender equality and violence prevention. This episode tackles the gender gap between men and women’s awareness of sexual violence. In a wide-ranging discussion, Lucretia and Michael explore how socialisation impacts young men and, in particular, how it shapes their attitudes about violence against women.
They take a deep dive into the importance of creating social and cultural change through our media, sport, workplaces, schools and in the home. They also discuss strategies that can encourage men to take action and put a stop to sexual violence.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
