In this short instructional segment, the speaker outlines a two‑step bystander response for situations where an individual boasts about sexual activity, especially when the participants are underage or when consent is unclear. First, the listener should make direct eye contact and ask, “Why are you telling me?” to challenge the bragger’s motive and highlight that the information is private. Second, the listener should consider whether the other person involved would want the details shared; if not, the bragger is violating that person’s boundaries. The speaker urges the bystander to have the courage to label the behavior as sexual assault when appropriate, reinforcing the importance of calling out non‑consensual or exploitative actions rather than dismissing them.
