No Does NOT Mean Yes!: "The Language of Assault Appears to Differ by Gender, Why?"

November 22, 2022 • The Subvert • Season 3 • Episode 6

An ad campaign for reducing sexual violence has been released in British Columbia; but with a different message for men and women. Why would different language be used to describe sexual attacks for men than women? Does our culture still subconsciously (or consciously in some cases) put some blame on women for attacks? Why do we need to have reminders like this at all when everyone knows assault is wrong? How can we talk to those who have violent thoughts before they manifest rather than wait until it's too late? Welcome to the land of no easy answers...
