After all of this, there is also this..
There is a better way to talk and teach about sexual negotiation and consent, a more realistic and ethical approach that would, I believe, also be more successful in reducing sexual assault. It begins with thinking of sex as the outcome of a collaboration rather than a battle, as dancing rather than fighting.

Great article! I agree, Emily Maguire is quite wonderful.
Very interesting article, the writer, Emily Maguire makes valid points about the way societies dialogue about sex and rape. I think an important point, which she touches on is that men and women are continuously deemed at odds with one another sexually. To further this point, boys and girl from a young age are instilled with the false idea that rape is a female problem, girls are often warned and talked to about rape: what it is, how to “avoid” it. Boys on the other hand are rarely talked to about rape, how often do parents talk to their sons about rape, for their own protection and to ensure that their boys will never become rapist?
Dialogue, equal dialogue for both men/boys and women/girls is key in developing a more rape conscious world, where people can’t claim hypotheticals, where “grey rape” doesn’t exist.
