 nostr:npub1p6mf2kzc3gu8tqkm59y0tvqg0sxnahxve2heujlf6c5wpx6v5twqg8jpny uses a comforting phrase in that post ("kisses at the speed of consent") reminding me of a disturbing meatspace convo about consent I had recently with a couple of boomer-minded relatives.

They both think it's fine to infer consent from "she went there, wearing that, and didn't say no". 

He brutally mocked explicit consent, especially if it's reconfirmed as a hookup progresses, as "too much". So I blew their minds by arguing for enthusiastic consent instead. They were NOT keen.
