The Tea Consent Analogy

If you’re struggling to understand consent, imagine instead of initiating sex, you’re offering someone a cup of tea.

• Clear “Yes” You ask, “Would you like a cup of tea?” and they say, “Oh my god, I’d LOVE a cup of tea!” Great — you know they want tea.
• Uncertain Response If they say, “I’m not really sure…” you can make the tea or not, but remember: they might not drink it. And if they don’t, that’s fine. You are not entitled to make them drink it just because you went to the effort.
• Clear “No” If they say, “No thank you,” then don’t make tea. Don’t insist, don’t guilt them, don’t get annoyed. They simply don’t want tea.
• Changing Their Mind They might say “Yes please” at first, but when the tea arrives, they decide they don’t want it anymore. That’s okay. People can change their mind. They are under no obligation to drink it.
• Unconscious Person If someone is unconscious, don’t make them tea. They can’t consent. Even if they said yes earlier, once they’re unconscious, they don’t want tea. Put the tea down, make sure they’re safe, but don’t try to pour it down their throat.
• Past Consent ≠ Future Consent If someone said yes to tea last week, that doesn’t mean they want tea all the time. You can’t show up at their house with tea shouting, “But you wanted tea before!” Consent is specific to the moment.

The Point

If you can understand how absurd it would be to force tea on someone who doesn’t want it, then you can understand consent. Whether it’s tea or sex: Consent is everything.

And with that, I’m going to make myself a cup of tea.
