Mike Domitrz asks a live audience whether most people ask for consent or just go for it. 98% say go for it, even after consent education. He argues that telling students not to rape doesn't work; they need to learn the actual skill of how to ask.
I walk out, like I said, it's a totally different show. I walk out and I get a student on stage right away. They're going to win a shirt. I say, do most people ask or go for it? What do you think they almost always say? Today they've learned about consent. What do you think they say? Ask or go for it for consent? What do most do? They're going to say go for it. I'm going to turn to the audience and I'll say, audience, what do you think? Do most people ask or go for it? 98% will yell go for it, even though they've all had consent education at some level. Because even if they came from abstinence only, they got what consent was. So they know the right answers. Their behavior is not anywhere matching. Their knowledge, right? Because we didn't skill it. If you don't give skills, people just go, well, that's nice in theory, but nobody's going to do it. That's why telling students don't rape has never worked, because what does that tell them to do? What can I do with don't rape? What's that? Get consent. You didn't tell me get consent. You said don't rape. You gave me nothing to do. It's a negative.
