Nicole Bedera @nbedera.bsky.social · 11hI keep seeing people talking about consent training and restorative justice in the aftermath of the Cornell story. I don’t know how to explain to people that those reactions are a part of the problem. 115622
Nicole Bedera @nbedera.bsky.social · 11hStudies dating back to the 80s have found that men are not just “confused” about consent. They just don’t prioritize consent over things like power, domination, and sexual gratification. Men participating in a gang rape know they don’t have the victim’s consent. 125480
Nicole Bedera @nbedera.bsky.social · 11hThe first requirement of restorative justice is a perpetrator’s confession. He has to admit what he has done and to take accountability. The men in this case are smearing the victim and threatening her with lawsuits. They are not candidates for RJ. They would turn it into a new site of violence. 221249
