When we talk about sexism and rape culture, no clip encapsulates the idea of affirmative consent more so than this short video of the former VP clearly laying out how to think about affirmative consent.
Consent requires affirmative consent.
Every week we get together and talk about sexism, gender bias, inequality, rape culture, patriarchy, and a host of gender and sex-related topics. Join us! For more information, see below after the video.

RSVP for #StopSexism Weekly Calls
The #StopSexism Social Interest Group aims to address the issues of everyday sexism, identify contributing factors, and discuss the implications and effects of sexism. We will hold weekly calls by phone, and together will explore ideas to combat inequality, gender bias, and society’s expectations.
The group is led by The Good Men Project editor Jeremy McKeen and writer Gretchen Kelly. We will connect via the #StopSexism Social Interest Group Facebook page for dialogue and community building.
The weekly conference calls will be avenue for deeper conversation and for coming up with innovative plans to counter sexism on the ground at the grassroots level. Weekly conference calls begin Monday, April 24 at 7:30 EST.

Please. A few weeks ago, you had a post by a self-confessed rapist on this site—and then proceeded to take down any comments critical of your decision to do so.
You have no credibility on this issue.
