Eros Evolution

Aired Thursday, 15 June 2017, 4:00 PM ET
Navigating Consent with Kitty Stryker, author of “Ask: Building Consent Culture”
Martha invites Kitty Stryker onto the show to discuss what consent culture is, why it’s important, and how it can challenge rape culture. Kitty has been a consent activist for over 6 years, working with alternative communities to combat abuse and create sustainable accountability practices. Martha and Kitty will explore the ways in which alternative sexualities embrace constructs of consent, and the ways in which they are still learning.
