Survey suggests some think the word 'slut' is acceptable

An exclusive Newsbeat survey of 3,000 18 to 29-year-olds suggests six out of 10 young people think the word "slut" is acceptable to use in some circumstances.

And almost a fifth of young women (19%) use the word either fairly often or all the time.

In the second episode in the series, Rick Kelsey is joined by BBC Radio 1's recently appointed social action presenter Gemma Cairney to explore sexism.
