Writer Salma El-Wardany dicusses why most men are ‘bad men’

Are all men bad men? This week, we chat with writer and presenter Salma El-Wardany about dealing with misogynistic abuse online, the myth that ‘nice guys finish last’, and how, until they’ve worked to dismantle the patriarchy from the inside, most men are in fact “bad”.

Salma’s debut novel, These Impossible Things, is available for pre-order now.
