[TW: SA] I keep seeing threads about how children are innocent and shouldn't be taught about sex and consent, so I'm going to share about what happens when you DON'T teach a child those things, because my parents didn't. Trigger warnings for sexual assault.

[TW: SA] I was every bit as innocent and "childlike" as the evangelical church likes its girls to be. And what happened was that predators looked at me and fucking *salivated*.

[TW: SA] In my first six months of adulthood, I was sexually assaulted multiple times, choked unconscious with a rope, tricked into consuming unsafe substances, and yes, raped.

[TW: SA] Not knowing about consent didn't protect me from predators. What it did was it made the predators safe: because I didn't know how to describe what they were doing to me. I couldn't seek help. I didn't know the words to report them.

[TW: SA] When you want your kid to be "innocent" of consent, of their rights and boundaries, of what sex is and what they're allowed to NOT do, then you make them vulnerable to predators because we don't have the words to report them and protect ourselves.

This was my experience going. I went to a PUBLIC SCHOOL and they did abstinence only. I had no idea how sexual organs worked or how to care for them. Just that sex was scary and shame on you for doing it if you’re not married. No mention of SA either. Or consent.

Wanting children to be "innocent" like this is cultish and completely unjustifiable on any rational, humanistic grounds.
