And apparently the anti-"enthusiastic consent" people refuse to believe this narrative and think by even bringing the word "consent" into being hugged and kissed by your cheek-pinching grandma we're perverting the innocence of childhood or whatever The disagreeement runs deep

This is relevant to this discussion why? Who is arguing this here?

If minors can't consent to sex, is there anything they can consent to? Can they consent to being touched, or hugged, or picked up off the ground?

Because you're out here saying "Minors can't consent" as this absolute rule and that has a lot of implications I know that if you want to pick an adult up bodily off the ground you have to have their consent and if you don't it's assault Is it okay to do that to a child

No, but being forced to give a hug teaches children they can’t say no. I’ve been giving my kid an option to say no to a hug since he was 2. He knows nobody can force him to do something he doesn’t want to do with his body.

He’s gotten practice saying no. It’ll be easier when he’s older and of that age or god forbid still young and someone tries to molest him for him to say no.

It is not *the same* as rape but it is a violation of personal space If it happened to an adult we wouldn't hesitate to call it assault or harassment, if the adult were upset enough about it to bring charges It trains kids to accept violation from loved ones

Okay, did I say it was okay for adults to have sex with children?

I am arguing that "enthusiastic consent workshops" (or if you prefer just "affirmative consent workshops") aimed at minors in the sex ed curriculum of a middle or high school are a vital and necessary tool to help kids stand up for themselves and navigate tense situations
