Join WLA for a book talk with Chanel Contos, author of Consent Laid Bare. Consent Laid Bare challenges the lingering inequality that reinforces an outdated social contract that privileges men’s pleasure at the expense of women’s humanity. It asks if consent is possible in a world where female sexuality has been hijacked by forces such as porn, patriarchy and male entitlement. It gives girls and women the encouragement to seek sex that is truly enjoyable and equips them with the information they need to properly consent. It asks boys and men to become advocates for sex centered around intimacy rather than fuelled by aggression.
