I sincerely wonder whether boys get told “hey be respectful of women when you go out tonight” or “hey make sure you get consent” by their parents as often as I hear “make sure you don’t take a drink from anyone” or “just promise to watch your drink carefully, don’t set it down”:/

all my parents told me was “don’t get her pregnant”
the respecting women stuff i got from TV and movies, which i probably spent more time with than my parents tho
also tbc i think the respecting women stuff was almost entirely bad for me. it made me really scared and anxious and i suppressed a lot of my sexuality for a long time. do not recommend :/

I suspect good parents could potentially do this better than universities and media
