Or less common opinions that you’ve been waiting for a chance to share?

Apologies if this has been asked before; I didn’t see it among recent posts and I like to hear everyone’s hot takes.

    On consent:

    I’ve seen way too many people making consent a very complicated matter (and since a while ago, in some countries, its even law), some going as far as wanting it in written for .

    I think it’s more important to SAY no than it is to say yes.

    I think we need to teach guys that it’s important to get consent, but also how to recognize it, as not all consent is verbal, it’s not how human beings work and yes, that means women too.

    In a similar fashion, it’s important to teach women to be clear about consent, that they know it’s okay to say no, but also that it’s important to SAY no if and when they’re uncomfortable and want out. Sometimes you just want quiet quick banging, no words, and definitely no review of what is okay in the next five minutes

    Written, or sometimes even verbal consent simply isn’t feasible in real life. Say no!
