Good 🧵. My conversations about consent with my kid were kicked off by him REALLY wanting to pet other people's dogs. He understood having to ask first, but wanted to ignore anything other than an outright no. ("He's not really friendly.") We had a lot of convos about recognizing soft no's and
@nbedera.bsky.socialA lot of parents already know they need to talk about sexual violence and consent. And you do.
But that’s only the tiniest piece of the puzzle. And if you don’t situate that conversation in a broader focus on gender equality, then you might do more harm than good.
