#MeToo: What's Next?

BBC World Service - The Thought Show, #MeToo: What's Next?

#MeToo: What's Next? What’s the future for the movement started by the hashtag?

#MeToo: What's Next? What’s the future for the movement started by the hashtag? How to cycle really fast; plus, why are friendships between men so important?

What’s the future of #MeToo? In October 2017, the hashtag became a worldwide movement in the wake of allegations against Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein – who denies the charges against him. In the first of a two-part series, we host a panel discussion on the fightback against sexual harassment and assault with writer Kirsty Allison, gender justice expert Natalie Collins and Washington Post columnist Megan McCardle.

How do you cycle really fast? Former British Time trial champion Michael Hutchinson calculates how much better the pros are than the rest of us, and aerodynamics expert Bert Blocken explains the numbers behind slipstreaming.

The importance of male friendships: from the Obama – Biden bromance to the transformative experience of the men’s group, we explore what men can get from their friendships with other men that is unique, and do long held notions of masculinity  prevent men from getting close to other men?
