I have more than one ex-gf who'd clearly never done the work re respecting others' right to consent or not.
Often coming from crappy places, but still - I ended a friendship over the response I got when I said (on twitter, fresh thread) that we need to be teaching girls and women about consent as well as men and boys. Guess it's slightly more subtle than that, in that we need to make sure everyone is being taught all the same things and knows it - which was definitely something I'd had in mind, from a different angle.
Miscellaneous. Eclectic. Random. Perhaps markedly literate, or at least suffering from the compulsion to read any text that presents itself, including cereal boxes.
