I’m a gen z woman and I think consent past a point is stupid and the concept makes me feel uneasy and unsafe. I was SA’d multiple times throughout my life by other kids my age. I didn’t like it when they didn’t care about my feelings or me as a person. But I developed a CNC kink and to this day I find it hotter than anything else. I only like rough erotica and film where the bottom is damn near crying. I have fantasies about being SA’d again. So I don’t understand my gens s** repulsed culture and they make me feel unsafe and uncomfortable. Everything is about ‘their consent to a conversation’ but they just rage on the topic without digging into why they feel that way and I’m the one being caused actual discomfort. Theyre just being immature and weird and no better than purity culture religious people. I also hate the whole narrative that we can’t touch eachother anymore. Shoulder touches are reacted to with violence in my generation. Kids are being taught it’s okay to reject hugs just because they don’t want a hug and I 1000% disagree. If the person trying to hug them is creepy that’s different. But this narrative that touch is bad is obsurd. I’m so significantly touch starved and I’ve cried from strangers leaning against me when I was in school in a GOOD way. I’ve always needed touch, support, and community. I hate how gen z ruined that over technically ‘my behalf’/victims of assault. Or this constant perpetuation of us all hating men. Like no, I’m so sick and tired of it and I want to go back to a culture where touch was common and men actually hit on us without being scared of catching a fake SA charge. I feel an ache in my chest and I’m honestly often suícidal because of my generation. I hate that they make me feel like that but pretend they’re progressive or helpful. I want it all to stop.
