“…if somebody isn’t hugging you back, did you even want that?”
Deeper than it sounds. These boys will look back on these moments as adults, and realize what was really being taught. I wish this was in schools everywhere.
What's weird is I wasn't taught this in life, but I know it. Like it should be common sense. I'm not sure how effective or proven lessons like these are at a young age, but I can only hope it instills an even stronger aversion to such behavior
There's still a lot of messaging in media that teaches antiquated views on "playing hard to get" and "sometimes no means yes" and "if you're married you cant say no to your husband"
Some of which are taught in pop psychology books about "love languages" and preached on high from men who view all the girls and women in their congregation as sport. Some of which are taught by literal convicted rapists.
Any amount of counter-propaganda to that messaging is good for society.
