My concern is that while consent is essential to learn, it wavers the fact that genuine predators by their very nature, male and female, DO NOT CARE, about rights and laws
My concern is that is very real fact is overlooked and is not taught the same way
Also with the clear left leaning and ideology inspired tone
Especially towards sex workers and pornography, it seems to shame them
She is young and inevitably naive as how the real world works in this area and there in lies the inevitable ideology vs reality in terms of sex workers and industry
But mainly - the idea that you can teach genuine predators not to do this stuff is like believing you can teach a serial killer not to murder
It's important for individuals to know their rights and such of course and what to be aware of
But as the much wiser Jordan Petersen said:
"Psychopathic predators are NOT going to stop themselves"
Also
There is nothing wrong with natural lads banter
When I was a lad we would banter about girls and women and more so each other
Teen trash talk is natural and shameless
The difference being with social media is that boys do not always realise that anyone can read their locker room comments and thus they are accused of being something they are not
Trash talk and banter is as natural as wrestling
When I was a lad we would do this all the time and never once would be say anything actually predatory or do anything as such
Why?
Because that would have been a red flag and made that person saying it a social outcast
And the same lads who would as teens banter and trash talk and such in private
We were the same lads showing women and girls not only absolute respect, we would at teen gatherings act as their bodyguards and protectors at all time
What we should have been taught and I agree with this
Was Red flag lessons
When and what the signs are of a creep near by and that is more essential now than ever with the online access predators have now to naive kids
I remember being a kid going online taling in chat rooms and my father HIT THE ROOF when he found out and demanded to know why my school hadn't warned boys and girls my age of online dangers back then
Nothing ever happened to me
But I didn't understand the danger of that until much later
Red flags are probably even more important than consent classes
Consent lessons are important absolutely
But so too are from a non ideological standard
One that does not shame anyone
One that also teaches red flags
And also what needs to be taught especially in the aftermath of now so many false allegation cases
Is what to do if a friend or even you are falsely accused and the importance of innocent until/unless proven guilty
