About this episode

Recently, yet another Australian school has found itself in the midst of controversy surrounding the behaviour of some of their male students. 

The students had created and circulated a spreadsheet with the names of their fellow female classmates. It included photos of the girls alongside a ranking system from wifeys, cuties, mids, objects, get out and unrapable. 

When news broke about this, a lot of people asked why? 

In this episode of The Quicky, we speak to a man who, as a teenager, said something horrific about a female peer, to find out why he said it, and what he thinks about it all these years later.
