Discussion List for campus-based and allied personnel working to end gender-based violence on campus.

[Carol Mosely <>]

The comments/discussion following the article are an excellent source for response ideas and they show encouraging signs that the level of understanding of consent is rising. Every person, certainly every survivor, must decide for themselves how they want to define an experience like this. The most important tool for the discussion that educators can offer is to make the concept of consent simple and clear. 

I think the term “regretted sex” can be helpful in a discussion of this type of experience. Certainly it’s more helpful than “unwanted consensual sex” which is contradictory and confusing. Juxtaposing regretted sex with sexual assault can deepen the discussion of consent and also help confront the lingering belief that some rapes are really just regretted sex.

Colleagues,

 

One of my student peer educators showed this to me and doesn’t know what to make of it or how to respond to the things it talks about. Have you seen this? What would you tell someone?
