Let's Talk About Consent with Scott MacDonald

Host, Elizabeth Cunningham, talks with Scott MacDonald, creator of End of the Innocence, about the importance of consent, why it seems to be so logical yet so illusive and what we can do to create a culture of consent. Click the link below to attend his free event, Culture of Consent: How do We Get There? Scott MacDonald is a former mathematics educator turned software engineer. He started End of the Innocence in November 2017 to bring about cultural change with the goal of eliminating sexual harassment and assault. End of the Innocence is about having conversations that lead to discovering what consent is to you, how you have interacted with it in the past and what you can do in the future. Many people think they know a lot more about consent than they really do. They "know", for example, that it's about sex. That's not necessarily true. We can teach children about consent from an early age that they have the right to decide what does and doesn't happen with their body and that others have that right, too. Then there's consent and long-running sexual relationships; how explicit does consent need to be? Does it suffice in that case for someone to simply not say "no" (assuming they're capable of doing so)? There are a lot of myths about consent and our conversation begins to dispel some of them.
