Whether it be deserving men unable to progress their careers due to female quotas & all-women shortlists, the naming of men in rape allegations whilst the female accuser remains anonymous, or the appalling treatment of men in the family court system -- such as denial of custody rights over children, crippling divorce settlements & child maintenance orders that invariably favour wives over husbands --, many are now asking whether men are now second-class citizens. In this documentary, (Episode 7 in the New Culture Forum’s acclaimed “Heresies“ series) the Rt. Hon Ann Widdecombe explores the issue of men’s rights in the modern age, an age when men & masculinity are consistently derided and attacked. The ubiquity of the new phrase “toxic masculinity“ provides a perfect example of this. Featuring interviews with well-known figures in men’s rights and experts in the psychological damage these experiences are regularly causing men.
