A disturbing university sexual assault trial (details deliberately left vague) is redefining how we view predators and victims.

LifeNet director and podcaster Brendan Malone unpacks the gender-based groupthink now shaping public reactions to cases of crime and immorality. He posits that rather than asking "What is true?", society has split into tribal camps, echoing decades of campus tolerance —and promotion— of hedonistic behaviour among students.

The Christian anthropologist and Andrew Urquhart discuss how a libertarian "consent-only" ethic assumes a level playing field between men and women and that private character doesn't affect public life. He points out that true consent only makes sense within a Christian sexual ethic that upholds human dignity; whereas stripping out morality under the guise of absolute bodily autonomy has bankrupted Western culture, which is still in denial about the catastrophic effects of  the sexual revolution, much like the failed Soviet experiment ([lifenet.org.nz)
