No Means No (and Other Fun Tips to Not Sexually Assault)

Jaime can’t stand the “me too” movement and thinks everyone should just assume all women (and some men) have been sexually assaulted in one way or another. She believes in the power of the “Enthusiastic Yes” to ensure that every person gives genuine and voluntary consent to proceed during a sexual encounter.

Angee gets enraged at men who “grab women by their pussy” and seem to think women are objects available for men to interact with and treat however they’d like. She believes it shouldn’t be that difficult to teach young men to not take advantage of other young women (and men). I mean seriously, is it really that difficult to understand?

Every 68 seconds another American is sexually assaulted. 1 out of every 6 American women has been the victim of an attempted or completed rape in her lifetime (14.8% completed 2.8% attempted). About 3% of American men—or 1 in 33—have experienced an attempted or completed rape in their lifetime. And these stats only take into account “rape” as sexual assault and, even then, these are simply the instances that have been reported. What about an unwanted boob or butt grab? What about a forced blowjob? What if the rapist is the person you are married to?

Women are often criticized by the “good guys” for assuming all men are dangerous. While this argument may seem logical, the consequences to women are far too great not to assume all men are dangerous. We recently heard this equated to gun safety. The #1 rule is to assume all guns are loaded as to assume they are not can result in death. Similarly, women are much safer to assume all men could sexually assault them because to assume they are all safe can result in dire consequences.

We no longer live in a society where men can sit on the sidelines while the women are fighting off every Tom, Dick, and Henry (or Carl) from unwanted advances. It’s time to stand up for your wives, your daughters, your mothers, your neighbors, and say, “NO MEANS NO, CARL!”

“Sorry, Carl.”* -Angee

*Angee would like to formally apologize to anyone out there named Carl who is a stand-up fella. She’s sorry if she made you uncomfortable in your body as there was no ill-intention nor unforgiveness to your namesake. It just so happened your name easily flew off the tongue and we had to keep it consistent.

Unless you are a Carl who has sexually assaulted women; in which case, you should make an appointment with Jaime to do hypnosis and heal your inner child because you obviously didn’t learn how to respect other’s personal bubbles.
