    Being Provocative isn't an Invitation

    American society and especially in the military, there is an idea that being provocative equates to consent. Consent involves a conversation about the past, the present, and the future. All resources are provocative. Money is one of the most provocative and sought after resources in the world. When someone steals cash, we don't place responsibility and accountability on the bank because its contents were provocative. We place accountability on the person who committed the crime. Why do we feel it is okay to place blame on victims of Military Sexual Trauma (MST)? This Perspectives Podcast episode directly challenges the status quo and looks and new and healthier beliefs that can help us #EndMST and hold leaders and the attackers responsible.
