Consent *Trigger warning*

There seems to be some confusion going around about consent, so I thought I’d clear it up. Silence is not consent. Guilting someone into sex, is not consent. Fear is not consent. Not fighting back is not consent. Drinking is not consent. Being in a relationship is not consent. Doing some things is not consent to do everything. Doing anything to someone that didn’t give you permission is not consent. Having sex with someone without consent is rape by law. Saying that these things are consent is victim blaming and horrible. Saying yes verbally is consent. Saying yes through body language, like nodding, is consent. That is it. This is not an opinion, this is a fact. If you’ve never experienced any kind of sexual assault, that makes me extremely happy for you. But please don’t pretend to know what it’s like to go through that. It is a hard thing to accept when it’s happened to you, and people like to brush it off. You don’t get to tell someone who has been raped that it didn’t happen. To all the victim blamers and sexual assaulters out there, we’d all be happier without you. To everyone out there who have been sexually assaulted or abused, I’m sorry. You are the strongest people in the world. I believe you. You did not deserve what happened to you and you are loved. Keep going and don’t give up.

All my love ♥️
