Today we will be talking about what consent means, how the definition has transformed over the years with culture, and then we’ll be breaking down some of the myths people believe about it. Consent is a freely given, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and informed agreement between two people for something to happen or to do something. Traditionally it has always been the job of the woman to tell the man no or when to stop and that no means no, which experts now say should not be the case. We also discuss the myths of consent, such as children under the age of 18 and what kind of things they’re able to give consent to and what things they’re not able to.
