Consent and sensibility
Brunch|March 18, 2023
We're not taught to set boundaries, let alone heed someone else's. No wonder we struggle with consent in bed

Consent and sensibility

Consider that video of the Japanese woman getting groped and harassed by men celebrating Holi. Consider how much of the response to the incident suggested that the festival overrides a person’s right to protest: “Bura na maano, Holi hai”. Consider how easily people blamed the victim for being harassed: “If women don’t want to play Holi, they shouldn’t step out”. Consider also that she later apologised on social media for “harming people’s sentiments”, minimising her own victimhood.
