Just reading a few threads on various things today, particularly in reference to 'kink shaming' which has come up on several.
Women do have to be more confident in their right to say 'no' unequivocally, without having this desparate need to give a lengthy explanation of why it's OK for them to just assert themselves if they feel uncomfortable about something.
The right to say 'no' always comes down to the concept of concent and 'no' is a sufficient answer to personal boundaries whatever they maybe.
There shouldn't be a movement about trying to shame women constantly into justifying themselves - whether it be, being polite about their opinions, their personal boundaries or being told what their responsibilities are.
Saying 'no' as a form of consent isn't just about crossing your legs and not having sex. It's about being a woman and being able to assert yourself without being condemned for it in anyway.
I think it nearly needed stressing given what I'm reading and it deserved its own thread about how we need to make the point that 'no' without tying yourself up in knots should be something we try and do more of across whatever it happens to be.
We should not feel guilty for saying 'no' if it's something we are unhappy about.
