Damn, that’s got to change. Encouraging anyone – but especially women, whose voices are often ignored by men – to feel like their points of view are valued and respected is a must.

Excellent, we should appreciate, celebrate and encourage the things people achieve no matter who they are.

 Aw c’mon, we need to appreciate, celebrate and encourage the things people achieve no matter who they are.

Excellent. Apart from the fact that people often can’t legally give consent if they’re intoxicated, sex should happen because everyone’s feeling enthusiastic and safe – not because someone’s been coerced with alcohol or drugs.
