Did your school sex education suck?!Imagine you're a 14 year old girl, and the school security guard asks you that question. This happened to Samantha, and the people at Scarleteen discuss her story, and the cultural attitudes toward menstruation.
"The Question"Do you feel like young women -- including yourself -- are really allowed and encouraged to say a big, resounding yes to sex, and not just in certain conditions? Our users discuss this very interesting question.
Do good girls say yes?It's so infrequent men are really talked to about rape, particularly in terms of what they can do to prevent it and how direly we need there help, and it's also often challenging for men, especially in male culture, to really, truly and fully take a stand against rape and sexual violence, and to deconstruct and reconstruct masculinity issues or roles which support or enable rape.
This thread is here to talk about all of these issues, ask any questions you might have, and to provide support for men who want to stand against rape and/or for women wondering how they can help. - Heather
