This came across my news feed on Facebook. Akin to the UK version, this video aims to get the message of consent across to teens. While I am all for anything that might reduce the rates of rape and sexual assault, I think we are missing the point. Our children are, obviously, inconsiderate fucks.
If they are getting to their teens and are not aware that no means no we have seriously missed the mark. Our children need to be taught from a very young age (think toddlerhood) that people are entitled to say no to anything pertaining to their own body. It is the starting point of respect, surely?
How are our children getting to be young adults without this basic understanding? It continues to astound me.
