Moral sciences textbook btw
Came across ts on reddit.
why tf is this situation even framed this way!?
Consent to one thing DOES NOT mean consent to everything.
What disturbed me even more was discussing this with a friend.
Her response was essentially, “Actually Sonia is responsible. Why did she agree to go with him in the first place?” like bro wtf? Fym her fault ?🙏🏻 I even tried to explain her that the girl is not responsible, still she was like "tari pan, it's her fault. She could've avoided that"
Sick mentality fr.
Why is the first instinct to ask what the girl did wrong , what was she wearing, what time it was , etc. instead of asking why the person who assaulted her chose to violate her?
The person who commits the assault is responsible for the assault.
It's not that girl's fault that she went on a date, hugged him, trusted him. It's his fault to SA her, violate her trust.
I'm genuinely worried about how deeply normalized this mentality is when even a textbook intended to teach morals can frame a 🍇 case around what the victim could have done to avoid that.
If we're actually teaching kids about morality, then teach them about consent and boundaries.
Teach them that trusting someone isn't giving them permission to do whatever they want.
Teach them that saying yes to one thing doesn't mean yes to everything else.
And honestly, this isn't just about this one textbook or even my friend. It's this whole victim blaming mentality of society.
Girls are constantly told what they should've done differently, as if we're supposed to prevent other people from making the decision to hurt us. We need to be teaching people to respect consent and boundaries instead.
It's high time we realise that a girl shouldn't have to behave perfectly to deserve not being SAed.
Stop asking what she could've done. Ask why he chose to do it.
