En Garde: Sarah Hanson-Young in conversation with Sarah Macdonald at Gleebooks

Join Sarah Hanson-Young in conversation with Sarah Macdonald at Gleebooks, recorded for ABC Radio Nightlife.

When Sarah Hanson-Young called out the abuse she received from male parliamentarians as slut-shaming, she sparked a national conversation about the rampant sexism in politics.

Placing the responsibility on women to defend themselves is the same cheap trick as asking, why didn't she just fight back? After witnessing verbal abuse levelled at female parliamentarians and public figures, Hanson-Young is convinced that now is the time to call it out and not retreat.

Arrive 3:30pm for a 4pm start.
