“Yes” doesn’t always mean “yes” when you haven’t created a situation in which your partner feels comfortable saying “no.”
I feel like this should be obvious. But every time I see someone say “yes means yes; no means no” I cringe a little. Consent isn’t always that simple.

Thank you. Because if you asked 14 times, got 13 “no”s and one “yes”, you didn’t obtain consent. I hate when people try to simplify consent like that.

This one million times
