Episode 2 of 4

Geoff Norcott examines modern masculinity, with the help of his audience in Leeds. This week, should we just ‘man up’?

This week, Geoff looks at the sometimes problematic phrase “man up". Is it sexist, or is it just shorthand for taking some responsibility for the greater benefit? With the help of his studio audience, Geoff looks at language men need to change.
