    Conversations with your kids about consent and bodily autonomy can — and should — predate any discussion of the mechanics of sex, an expert says.https://n.pr/2xw8PJy

        This is bad, clearly generating the perception that Judge Kavanaugh is guilty - further, that his guilt provides fodder for parents to teach children about consent. Disappointing article.

        Headline is terrible. Should at least be "How To Talk to Young People About Consent IN LIGHT OF The Kavanaugh ACCUSATION." If you're talking to a little one about the "Kavanaugh Story," include a discussion about the importance of presumed innocence in this country.

        Presumed innocence is highly biased. There are groups of children in this country who grow up recognizing they are presumed guilty, and could die because of it. America isn’t the same for all.

        I agree that everyone has not always been given the right of presumed innocence. That doesn't mean we should take it away from others.

        I didn’t imply it should be taken away. You want people to make sure they bring up presumed innocence. That’s true maybe in your world, but for an incredibly large number of people, that’s a pipe dream (only something we read about but will never experience).

        Moreover, don’t you think that consent is an issue that should be taught in elementary school—even without sex-ed being a component to the lesson (although that would be better)?

        I agree. Disrespecting consent is a cornerstone of bullying, harassment, and violence. Even without the obvious sexual protection against pedophilia and other forms of rape this is a necessary lesson for all children in self respect and self discipline.

        I’ve had “The Talk” with all of my sons. Hated to shatter their trust in women but now they know what the “Pence Rule” is and why it matters.

        The men in your family must be very weak indeed if they are incapable of being around a woman alone without attempting to rape her.

        Or face false allegations was my take. Their lives can be ruined with just one allegation. Doesn’t even need to be true.

        We do not accept "boys will be boys" as an excuse for our son and he's only three years old. Committing to raising better boys -who go on to be better men- is not rocket science. We must do better.

        Shouldn’t this read ‘How to talk to your kids about how the Democrats will lie and cheat to win’? That is what it is. None of Dr Fords ‘witnesses ‘ agree that this party even took place. So very disgusting after Hillary stole the primary from Bernie.

        It’s the perfect time to teach my daughter how wrong it is for a woman to use her sexuality and/or political orientation to railroad innocents for personal/political gain.

        “Use her sexuality”? I feel very sorry for your daughter. It’s clear that if she were ever raped, she would know not to ever tell her parents about it.

        I’ll put it more simply, (ahem) - because sexual assault is REAL & can ruin lives, don’t go around wrongly accusing men of sexual assault because you don’t like their politics or whatever and dragging other people into it who will be compelled to publicly refute you.

        There’s no evidence that happened here, but I doubt you care about that. You’re saying “it’s ok to report rape, as long as the rapist was a certain type of person, but not if he isn’t. If he’s the wrong political party or a prominent man, it’s not OK.”

        6 people (m&w) that she says were witnesses have publicly refuted her story. Just like the first one.

        How many are willing to say that under oath in front of the Judicial Committee? So far, ZERO.

        Not one has been interviewed under oath in front of the judicial committee. In fact, they refuse.
