These are all examples of rape and consent transferred to everyday practices/occurrences for ease of understanding. All it took for me was the first comic, and I knew I had to share these with the group.

Read these a while ago, so good! Oh, and there's the Consent Is as Easy as Tea clip, which I found hilarious and informative.

Gets to the point.

I love the video. It's nicely done and explained very simply th consent.
I think it's not only about sex but about everything and it's important to remember that consent can change

This cartoon and the video are really, really good! It's such an easy and straightforward "concept"...it's making me sad that it for some reason isn't for a lot of people...
When I watched the video, I found this in the suggestions (If a robbery report was treated like a rape report): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0L4V...
No wonder so many victims don't want to report it to the police after they were raped...

"Well, you're dressed like a weight-lifter and showing off your muscles. You're asking to be handed heavy stuff! Don't blame me."

That's the dot on the i.

I think the conversation about consent is extremely important. The main focus of the conversation is usually on sexual activities. But we shouldn't forget to include non-sexual activities in the conversation. Things like shaking hands, dancing etc. anything that requires body contact. It's very important to teach children consent and bodily autonomy in everyday life, so that they learn to know their own boundries and learn to respect other peoples boundries.

This article is about why parents should teach their children consent and bodily autonomy and gives advice how to do it http://everydayfeminism.com/2016/04/p...

I feel bad for kids who are forced by their parents to be hugged by people strangers to them (friends of parents only), when it is clear the child is deeply uncomfortable. That is the first step to causing possible problems with body image.

Very interesting Link ! I think that all this détails lurnt during éducation leads to sexual abuse because the child Won t recognise the abuse coming then he Will blame himself that he had permit this abuse . The réality is that he had been victim all this time

I'm sorry Rivka I don't understand your comment. What do you mean when you say "all the details learnt during education leads to sexual abuse"? This is not clear to me.

Bunny, I think Rivka wanted to say that people aren't educated on consent in the way they should and therefore when it comes to sexual abuse they rather are confused and think that they were responsible in some way.
