    LOL. Is this to protect men? In my experience, admittedly a bit dated, it's men who are more commonly reluctant to dance & get pestered into it.https://twitter.com/Evolutionistrue/status/935159143773687809 …

    Princeton infantilizes its students. Do they lack the ability to stop dancing when they want to? pic.twitter.com/IxqwugZ21R

        If you are fragile enough that you need to consent to dance, you need psychiatric help, not 'consent is easy' posters.

        Society should not be tailored to it's most fragile member's needs or they will grow exponentially. This is not helping at all.

        Here's a poster idea:"If someone wants to dance with you and you don't, stand your ground and tell them to fuck off"

        The bonus is: you can apply it to anything in your life. Your landlord is abusing you? Get legal help, stand your ground and tell him to fuck off.

        You might get bruised up or in legal procedures, but nobody else can fight your battles.

        Fear of pain is way worse than the actual pain, it gets in the way of you living your life, it entraps you in a perpetual state of hyper awareness and misery.

        "frequently check with your partner". how many hours are they dancing? or we're talking every 30s here?

        If I was a male at a university in 2017 I would be staying away from the opposite sex at all costs while on campus.

        At clubs I usually have to be pestered with drinks before I hit the floor. After that it's difficult to get me to stop dancing.https://youtu.be/_Ka01Y_pYgM

        Mindyou, my hubby did a mean pogo. No issues with consent there, not unless we're considering the trauma inflicted by seeing him in action.
