Happy Independence Day!! In this episode, I talk about the importance of practicing safety for yourself and those around you! It all comes down to your decision if you want a safe community.

It is now summertime and the temperatures are starting to rise. With the hotter temperatures also comes more pool visits, beach vacations, and tank tops, shorts, and summer dress outfits.

In this episode, we dig deep into the consent culture that is becoming more and more emphasized in everyday media. This is a huge deal! We have been making progress in overriding rape culture and replacing it with a consent culture! But while obtaining girls’ consent is essential in many of these films, obtaining boys’ consent often appears irrelevant. So now we might ask: if teen films now emphasize how affirmative consent is necessary to obtain from girls, why not from boys, too?

In this episode, we talk about the concept of the "friendzone" and how the levels people take to get out of that "zone" can be unhealthy and manipulative. The idea of getting "friendzoned" is a myth. We should respect people's choices to not pursue a romantic relationship instead of staying friends hoping to convince the other person to fall in love.
