Reasonable doubt: How society got its rules wrong
Most people consider themselves reasonable. But are they? And what rules is that notion defined by? Siân Pattenden is joined by Kirsty Sedgman, author of On Being Unreasonable, to discuss what the response to breastfeeding in public, noisy theatre audiences, neighbourhood watch indiscretions and Edward Coulston show about society today – and whether our collective rules might be wrong.
““Being ‘reasonable’ has usually meant being a man.”
“The NextDoor app shows us the dangers of thinking you are reasonable – when really you aren’t.”
“We need to take acting ‘reasonably’ seriously because it involves policing and power.”
“Who are the rules of ‘being unreasonable’ harming?”
