They don't need "consent" lessons, they need "women are people" lessons
Seeing a lot of dicussion about whether "men need to be taught consent" or whether "they know it and they just don't care because they're inherently and incurably evil".
My take is: men aren't simply evil, but what they're not taught enough is that WOMEN have the right to give or withhold consent.
I saw a seemingly well-intentioned male instagrammer talking about how he was teaching his toddler son that he could say "no" to people touching him and shouldn't touch people when they say "no". Sure, that is important and something older generations didn't even have.
But it's not really the point, because do they struggle so much with consent when it comes to other men? No, because they know people have bodily autonomy and other men are people.
What they don't understand is that we are too.
What that instagrammer needs to make sure to teach his son is that girls are his peers, and not just potential "romantic interests" (i.e. trophies to stroke his ego and fulfill his needs).
Why is it so uncomfortable to make WOMEN the focus of a discussion about MISOGYNY? (We know why).
