There’s No Such Thing as “Non-Consensual Sex”

We must abolish the use of passive words to describe violent acts.

In an article in my local paper today, it was reported that a 20-year-old assistant wrestling coach had “non-consensual sexual intercourse in the spring of 2016 with a girl who was 15 or 16 at the time.”

This kind of language needs to stop.

All about living as a sex-positive person and parent, body acceptance, what it’s like to be a rad fatty, polyamory, feminism, social justice, divorce, and more. I write to connect and constantly strive to jump into hope with abandon.
