I’m not sure emphasizing consent would change anything as long as a woman is not equal to a man in the eyes of the law.

Do we ask a lobster if it wants to be boiled for dinner or does it exist for our pleasure? Too many men still view women as though we exist for their pleasure, and the law is on their side in that regard.

What does consent matter when out of 1000 sexual assaults, 995 perpetrators walk free?

As Brock Turner’s father said, that’s a steep price to pay for “20 minutes of action” and unfortunately, that’s how a lot of people think.

No one wore seat belts until they were enforced by law and I do not understand why women do not yet have equal rights in most countries.

Systemic, indeed. You are right that we created the monster. Great read — thanks. ❤
