Male coworkers: have you been watching the hearing? It’s pretty hilarious, he’s describing a what a drinking game is to a national committee

Me: good to know y’all think this is funny, now I can never trust you again and btw I’m so stressed and burnt out from overempathy that I can’t even think about trying to create meaningful change anymore I just want to get myself and the people I care about out of this hellhole as fast as possible and my shoulder and neck are both currently in spasm but haha right rape allegations against a potential Supreme Court judge high-larious

when “no means no” comes up, you hear guys say “oh, but sometimes girls play hard to get” and like…. i guess, yeah.  men & women both can be really bad at being honest about what they want.  but just consider your options.

  1. the other person says “no” and means “yes” –>  you back down –>  they learn
    that if they want something, they have to clearly express themselves
  2. they say “no” and mean “no” –>  you back down –>  you’ve successfully respected their boundaries
    👍👌

  3. they say “no” and mean “yes” –>  you ignore them –>  you’re perpetuating a pattern of bad communication & ignoring boundaries 👎 & given that you aren’t a mind reader, it’s really just luck that you haven’t coerced an unwilling person into sex
  4. they say “no” and mean “no” –>  you ignore them –>  you’ve committed sexual assault 🚨🚨🚨 do not pass go, do not collect 200 dollars

unless you care more about getting laid than not assaulting people, respecting people’s “no”s is a win-win situation.  don’t be a potential rapist

This is really important
