@evie_ Thank you for your very useful input Evie. I hope you feel big and important now that you’ve finally gotten your say. Gtfo of my mentions now, thank you 🫶🏻
While it is vital to ensure that people understand the concept of consent when it comes to sexual relationships, this video did not advance that aim and in many ways was counterproductive.
Children might not have enough maturity to make medical decisions, because they lack the understanding of far reaching consequences.
But they as fuck know whether they want to be hugged or not right this moment.
How is that so difficult for people?
The terfs have showed up, so muting this absolute cesspool. Free Palestine 🇵🇸, protect the dolls, fuck ICE and most importantly, fuck Donald Trump. 🫶🏻🫶🏻
The vast majority of children who are sexually abused get abused by an adult that they are related to. Teaching children about bodily autonomy and consent shouldn’t be a controversial thing. Unless of course… you want to touch children without them knowing they can say no? 🤨
An ad encouraging grandparents to get consent before hugging their grandchildren has been pulled following backlash
"Having loving grandparents in a child’s life is an incredibly positive thing to be cherished and not something to be campaigned against"
Hey, so rape is actually always 100% the rapists fault. There is no level of shared responsibility. This is true. Always. Thank you for coming to my talk.
@rf_Cman@MrPredictor__ Ah yes, I hate children because I *checks notes* don’t think children should be touched if they don’t give consent. Do you hear how dim-witted you sound here?
@amjackson90@MrPredictor__ Hey Adam, I think this is called projecting. If you need resources there are plenty out there. I hope you find the help you need 🫶🏻
@HoboSeamus@MrPredictor__ Hey mate, if a child doesn’t want a hug and you hug em anyway, then that’s going to have a far more negative impact on their mental health and development than if you ask, they say no, and you don’t hug them. This is what we call, common sense! You should try it some time!
If grandparents are offended by the notion that they don't own the bodies of their grandchildren, then fuck them.
Children are people. Children have the right to say no.
And grandparents who get offended at that are honestly unsafe.
If kids can’t understand they can’t say no to a hug from their grandparents what makes u think they will then understand it is ok to say no to any adult? And why are we acting like kids can’t be SA’d by family members? Sorry if that makes u uncomfortable but that’s the fkn truth
i can’t believe i’m about to say this out loud, but this absolutely matters. i am a childhood sexual abuse survivor, i was sexually assaulted many times during my younger life from a family member, and yes because this family member used to hug me and would grope me every time.
Like most people who were abused, it was by someone related to me. My dad started raping me at the age of 7 and didn't stop until I became pregnant at 13.
No, an uncomfortable hug is not the same as abuse, but teaching children their rights to their own body is valuable.
