'Be strong enough to say no...I wasn't and that's my biggest shame'
Journalist, author and former 'lad' Chris Hemmings used to be involved in disgraceful rugby club antics while at university, from throwing full pints in women's faces to some of his team mates urinating on women. Now a reformed character, in his book 'Be A Man' Chris explains why he did it, and attempts to discover what in 2017 it really means to 'Be A Man'. Chris joins Jenni to explore how masculine determination to be dominant not only impacts on the women and girls in our lives, but also the men and boys.
