The Women we love to hate: Panel

We live in a world addicted to scandal and drama, but why do women often come off worse than their male counterparts? In a political sex scandal, an older adulterous male survives whilst a young woman’s career is often left in tatters. When a sports star is accused of rape the accuser often fares worse than the alleged perpetrators as her life and morals are put under a microscope.

Is this misogyny in action? Or do women rush to judge each other while men stand in solidarity? Is this the same pattern that begins in the schoolyard where the ‘pack’ chooses who is popular and who has to eat alone? How can we fight the human urge to judge each other? And are their unexpected lessons to be learnt from the Boys' Club?
