The negative and disturbing phrase, Rape Culture has a counterpart and it's being called The Culture of Consent. I choose to use the latter phrase to spread a message of positivity and education.

Since May 24th, the internet has been flooded with #yesallwomen, #allmencan and #nomore testimonies, stories and ideas. Perhaps a million have spoken out via Twitter and other social networking sites about sexual assault, misogyny and objectification. The educational efforts with these (and other) online campaigns is inspirational. People are banding together with a general response against violence. They are responding with what kind of behavior and thoughts are damaging and how to rise above.
