#CreatingConsentCulture

Regrann from @dayoneny - Regrann from @theequalityinstitute - Being in a relationship does not mean that you have given consent. Being in love with someone does not mean you have given consent. Your previous history with someone does not mean you have given consent. Consent is ongoing and needs to be constantly reaffirmed. You do not have to give consent just because you love someone or are in a relationship with them! Only give consent when you WANT to. . .

Fox News: Louisiana priest, two dominatrices charged with vandalism after altar threesome: report

Warnings about the consequences of marital intercourse at the wrong time were not nearly as pervasive as warning about the consequences of intercourse in the wrong place, notably in churches.  The story of a couple who had sex in a church and became stuck together “like dogs,” to the amazement and derision of the congregation who found them there the next day, was widely retold.  It is hard to…

PROFILE: Amber Amour

Amber Amour is an artist, humanitarian, and revolutionary.  

Where are you from? Everywhere. I was born in Ohio and moved to Northern Virginia when I was 17, the year I started college. I transferred to the University of Paris (La Sorbonne) a year later and lived in France for five and a half years. After college, I moved to Atlanta for six months and then got rooted in NYC, where I stayed for 3 years. Ever since I left New York, I’ve lived in San Francisco, South Africa, Argentina, and San Diego.

What is your background? Professionally speaking? My degree is to teach French as a second language, but, I’ve since become a self-made consent expert.

What are your passions? Music, art, healthy living, nature, spirituality.

What got you started in activism? My mom. She took me to my first protest when I was 12.

What are your views on the current political state? I try not to think about it.

Do you think education to younger audiences about consent could be improved? Improvement? It should first exist. There is little to no consent education for today’s youth. We should start by teaching consent to children and continuing and adapting the conversation throughout their lives.

Have you run into any roadblocks with the system in America while advocating for your beliefs? I’d rather not talk about that.

What are some ways people can start to get involved with activism and being an advocate for pressing issues? Just do it! Starting anywhere with what you’ve got is always good. For me, it was chalk art about feminism and consent on the streets of NYC.

Any Upcoming Projects? Right now I’m rebranding. Getting out of activism and doing what I love: making art and music.

What is your message to the world? Healing after sexual assault is possible! You can get through it :)

Some people think the issue of sexual consent is complicated. We think it’s pretty simple. If it’s not YES, it’s NO. #projectconsent #creatingconsentculture

This is an old photo, and the last time I posted this, I was trolled by some random man who thought he was telling me about myself. Hmph. 〰〰〰 I bought this shirt from @feministapparel at a conference where I was one of the speakers. This #rapeculture that we subscribe to is old and tired. I know of too many stories where survivors under reported or did not report their attack at all. Too many people existing in silence and shame and trauma. We talk about how to protect ourselves or signs to watch for. But are we teaching about #consent? Are we talking about #sexuality in a healthy way? Not too many things piss me off, but victim blaming and shaming is high on the list. I have plenty to say but I'll end with this: Rape and sexual assault ain't EVER ok. If you have had to deal with this, know that you are not alone. 〰〰〰 #saam #saapm #believesurvivors #creatingconsentculture #jaalico #consentismandatory

#NoMeansNo! 🇵🇭⚔️🤚🏽 Teaching #Consent in Hiligaynon, Bisaya, Tagalog, Bikol, Waray, Karay-a, and Chavacano. 🗡 . . Our archipelago of 7,107 islands known as the Philippines, has over 180 languages, distinct from each other by geographical region and colonial experience. Many of our indigenous languages are dying, so it’s up to us to keep them alive. Consent must be taught in every language until this concept is universal. No matter what language it’s in, NO MEANS NO!

Consent for Children, From An Unsilenced Woman on Facebook

One day recently my three-year-old asked me to tickle him. I knew that tickling could be one of those activities that could move quickly from fun into boundary transgression, and kids often nervously laugh and tolerate touch they’re not sure they want. I wanted to connect with him playfully in the way he was asking, and I wanted to model safe physical experiences for him at the same time.

“If you start to feel like you don’t like it, you can tell me to stop,” I said.

“Stop,” he said, testing it. I stopped.

“Go,” he said, laughing. I tickled again.

“Stop.” “Go.” We practiced for a few rounds, with him seamlessly taking the lead with guiding the touch.

“And if I ever tickle you somewhere that doesn’t feel good, you can say, ‘I don’t like that’.”

“I don’t like that,” he practiced.

But we’re not just teaching our kids about the kind of touch to avoid. We also want them to enjoy living in their bodies and to not attach shame to touch that makes them feel good.

“If there’s somewhere you want me to tickle you, you can ask me. Like, ‘Will you tickle my feet?’ Then I get to decide if that’s something I want to do.”

“Will you tickle my feet?” he asked me. “Hmm...Yes, I will. That’s something I would like to do.”

And just like that we practiced boundaries, consent, and normalized pleasure. It’s not one serious, awkward conversation. It’s not The Sex Talk you’ve known and dreaded. It’s a foundation built over years through affection, conversation, and modeling. Tenderly, playfully, with curiosity and openness. It’s not solely teaching about sex either; it’s about conveying that we are embodied beings based in sensory experiences, and there are many ways to relish living in a body rich with sensation.

Témoignage - #MoiAussi

Parce qu'à chaque automne, le mouvement se soulève et les voix se font entendre. Parce qu'à même date l'an passé, c'est grâce aux prises de paroles des survivantes autour de moi et dans les médias que j'ai décidé à mon tour de reprendre le pouvoir sur ma vie, de retrouver ma voix et d'entamer le processus de guérison en allant chercher l'aide nécessaire.

.

Parce qu'il n'est jamais trop tard. Et parce que cette honte et cette culpabilité ce n'est pas à moi de les porter. Il n'y a pas d'honte à être honnête. Il n'y a pas d'honte à être vulnérable. L'impatience me fait vivre des frustrations. Je suis en train d’accepter que c’est un travail à long terme et qu’il n’y a pas de solutions miracles. Il y a des jours remplis de colère et de tristesse et des jours remplis de confiance et de motivation. Les larmes dans mes yeux sont remplis de détermination. Pendant près d'un an, je n’ai pas eu de voix ou de mots pour raconter mon histoire. Je suis en train d’apprendre à me reconnecter avec émotions et à prendre ma parole en considération. J’apprends à trouver ma voix, à m’exprimer. Garder cet abus secret l’a fait devenir plus intense et contrôlant dans ma vie. La décision que j’ai prise d’en parler me redonne le pouvoir qui m’a été enlevé. Ça enlève une grosse partie du poids que je porte seule sur mes épaules depuis cette soirée.

.

Penser à moi. Prendre le temps de prendre le temps. Communiquer ce que je ressens. Prendre en considération ce que je pense et ce que je dis. L’écoute de ma tête, de mon corps, de mes besoins, l’écoute venant des autres. Le respect. La compassion. La gentillesse. La douceur. Toutes des choses que je mets en place dans ma vie depuis bientôt deux ans. Toutes des choses que tu as décidé de ne pas respecter ou d’écouter ce soir de décembre 2015. Un jour à la fois: je suis sur la bonne voie.

- Evelyne Babin-Rhéaume

Someone had to say it 💁🏻 You mad? Maybe you need to reconsider the jokes you’re making. I’m not a man hater, but I will judge the fuck out of a man that thinks jokes at our expense are just funny and not rude, harmful or degrading. Take responsibility for your actions and don’t shame your mama by getting her involved.
