Quick Thoughts
Small thoughts and messages not worthy of their own pages but still something I feel like putting out there. Largely curated and possibly lightly edited from my posts and discussions in the WFM server.

I was one of those people that didn’t understand consent for a long time.
The thing is it wasn’t really taught sufficiently in school. At least not any of the schools I went to.
What was taught was only in the context of sex vs rape. There really wasn’t anything else. All other information I received on it was through, basically, TV and movies. Which is really not a great model. Especially considering how many “just keep trying/pushing until they give in” plots are out there (usually in the context of a man pursuing a woman).It wasn’t until I got a lot older and more experienced, and learned from actual people how it is really, realistically supposed to work, and had some time to internalize that and relearn my behaviors, that I was able to change that.
