Speeches by Brewer.

“My first question is to Janaya: do the Government need to introduce an offence classifying misogyny or extreme misogynistic speech as a hate crime?”

“Coming back to you very briefly, Jacob, you mentioned about de-platforming and we have just touched on that. Does it work or does it actually pose a risk? Do they move to platforms with less moderation, or to mainstream television? Does it work or is it counterproductive?”

“This is fascinating. Can I start by asking you, Jacob, to what extent current moderation policies on social media platforms are effective in preventing this content from spreading?”

“Professor Nanayakkara, can you outline the symptoms referred to as breast implant illness—we have covered this a bit, so just succinctly?”

“Have you seen a rise in patients reporting these symptoms?”

“Thank you. Professor Heneghan, are you also seeing an increase in patients with these symptoms?”

“Professor Nanayakkara, what percentage of women who get breast implants report negative side effects, and do you know why all women are not affected equally?”

“You have touched on this a little, but to what extent does the removal of a breast implant completely alleviate the symptoms?”

“Professor Coleman, what research has been done on the causes of breast implant illness?”

“In the light of the picture across the EU and the irony of the situation, do you think it would be better if legislation prevented breast implants from containing silicones like D4?”

“A piece of technology that already exists that can prevent hydrocephalus is the humble tape measure. The Secretary of State said that he would ask the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence to conduct a review of the frequency with which infants’ heads should be measured to allow us to detect hydrocephalus e…”

“Okay. My follow-up is about some criticism of the show. There have been suggestions that the show may wrongly portray incels to be violent, whereas in practice incel violence is rare. That is how the criticism goes. Is that a criticism you accept?”

“So actually, the criticism that you have been getting is a symptom of the very problem that the show is highlighting.”

“Jack, the show obviously refers to the impact of toxic and misogynistic influencers on young people. Why do you think those influencers have had such success in gaining this following in young men and boys?”

“Daniel, what do you think of the use of the term toxic masculinity? It is frequently used. I use it; we all use it.”

“Is it fair to say then that social media is turning the volume up massively on those messages?”

“I have one more question. Daniel, I would like to get your thoughts on this, and again, it is a slight leap. I recently had the great fortune to visit Tokyo, and something was thrown into sharp relief in a way that it has not been in other cities. We went to the area of the city that is all about gaming and tech, and t…”

“I am leaping around a bit but, like I said, I am trying to draw these threads together. Matt, we have talked today about this huge increase in focus on body image and what that means for young boys and men. Focus on body image is something that women have experienced for decades and to considerable health disadvantage …”

“Darren, I am looking at the role of men and masculinity in society, so I am trying to draw some threads together here. One of them is just coming back to the schools point about misogyny from male pupils towards female staff. I used to work in the domestic abuse sector, and we saw a vast increase in what was termed chi…”

“Is it becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy?”
