- I love this post so much. “It seems a lot of people really, REALLY don’t get what ‘consent’ means. (…) If you’re still struggling, just imagine instead of initiating sex, you’re making them a cup of tea. (…) If they are unconscious, don’t make them tea. Unconscious people don’t want tea and can’t answer the question ‘do you want tea’ because they are unconscious.”

- Human trafficking – and sex trafficking in particular – has become something of a Christian cause célèbre. One of the most persistent criticisms of the movement is that it’s not opposed only to explicitly forced prostitution and child prostitution, but to prostitution as a whole, even when it’s engaged in by adult women who say they are sex workers by choice.
