Transcript
00:00If you're still struggling with consent, just imagine instead of initiating sex,
00:05you're making them a cup of tea.
00:07You say, hey, would you like a cup of tea?
00:09And they go, oh my god, fuck yes, I would fucking love a cup of tea, thank you.
00:15Then you know they want a cup of tea.
00:17If you say, hey, would you like a cup of tea?
00:20And they're like, uh, you know, I'm not really sure.
00:23Uh, then you could make them a cup of tea, or not,
00:26but be aware they might not drink it.
00:29And if they don't drink it, then, and this is the important part,
00:33don't make them drink it.
00:35Just because you made it doesn't mean you are entitled to watch them drink it.
00:39And if they say no thank you, then don't make them tea.
00:43At all.
00:44Just don't make them tea.
00:46Don't make them drink tea.
00:48Don't get annoyed at them for not wanting tea.
00:50They just don't want tea, okay?
00:53They might say, yes please, that's kind of you.
00:56And then when the tea arrives, they actually don't want the tea at all.
01:00Sure, that's kind of annoying, as you've gone to all the effort of making the tea,
01:04but they remain under no obligation to drink the tea.
01:08They did want tea, now they don't.
01:10Some people change their mind in the time that it takes to boil the kettle,
01:13brew the tea, and add the milk.
01:15And it's okay for people to change their mind.
01:17And you are still not entitled to watch them drink it.
01:20And if they're unconscious, don't make them tea.
01:23Unconscious people don't want tea.
01:25And they can't answer the question, do you want tea?
01:28Because they're unconscious.
01:31Okay, maybe they were conscious when you asked them if they wanted tea.
01:34And they said yes.
01:35But in the time it took you to boil the kettle,
01:37brew the tea, and add the milk, they are now unconscious.
01:40You should just put the tea down.
01:42Make sure the unconscious person is safe.
01:45And this is the important part again.
01:47Don't make them drink the tea.
01:49They said yes then, sure, but unconscious people don't want tea.
01:55If someone said yes to tea, started drinking it,
01:58and then passed out before they'd finished it,
02:00don't keep on pouring it down their throat.
02:02Take the tea away.
02:04Make sure they're safe.
02:05Because unconscious people don't want tea.
02:08Trust me on this.
02:10If someone said yes to tea around your house last Saturday,
02:13that doesn't mean they want you to make them tea all the time.
02:16They don't want you to come around to their place unexpectedly
02:19and make them tea and force them to drink it going,
02:21but you wanted tea last week.
02:24Or to wake up to find you pouring tea down their throat going,
02:26but you wanted tea last night.
02:28If you can understand how completely ludicrous it is
02:30to force people to have tea when they don't want tea,
02:33and you're able to understand when people don't want tea,
02:36then how hard is it to understand it when it comes to sex?
02:39Whether it's tea or sex, consent is everything.
02:43And on that note, I'm going to go make myself a cup of tea.
