Dad teaches sons with hypotheticals from @thegilliamfam

A father sits with his two young sons and asks them a series of hypothetical questions to teach them about consent and standing up for what is right. He first poses a scenario about a group chat where friends plan to do something wrong to a woman, and then a simpler scenario about asking for a hug and respecting the answer 'no,' even if it's given after being pressured.

Transcript excerpt

Let me ask y'all a question. If you were in a situation, okay, in a group chat with a bunch of other dudes and they decided they wanted to do something wrong to a young lady, okay, and seven people decided that they were gonna agree to it, But in that same group chat, no one else said anything in that situation. What what would you do in a situation like that? I can just stop right now or tell tell someone of higher authority and maybe someone, with higher power that can stop what they're doing. K. No, in a situation where, right, you see a young lady and you wanna give her a hug, right, and you ask Mhmm. And she says no, what do you do? Take no for an answer. Don't don't keep pushing and pushing, just move on. Okay. And no if you ask her 15 times, hey, can I get a hug and I get a hug and you keep pushing, and she finally caves in and decides to say yes, right, is that still consent? No. It's not because you kept pushing and pushing until she finally said yes because she just got annoyed with you you saying that. Yeah. Because she just she wanted you to stop bothering.
