    Challenging Consent Narratives with (and of) Mia Schacter

    In this very different -- and very difficult -- episode, DB sits down with Mia Schachter of Consent Wizardry to talk all about consent. But what DB gets is not what she expected. Please note that this episode contains difficult and potentially triggering conversations around consent. This episode touches on discussions and experiences of consent violations, as well as a perspective that might trigger feelings or memories of victim blaming for some listeners. Be sure to listen through the Pleasure Preview and Afterglow of this episode, where DB talks about her perspectives on consent and this conversation, as well as giving some vital resources. Please do not seek out our guest from this episode for any form of harassment or criticism based on this episode or on behalf of Sex Ed with DB. Online or not, harassment, bullying, and dogpiling are never okay, and we don't condone it. This episode is an invitation for discussion and internalization -- not an invitation to discredit, disparage, or defame anyone involved.
