‘The Male Feminist’ Ep 9: Divyanka Tripathi Highlights How Body Language Can Convey Lack Of Consent. She’s Making An Important Point!
That's a clever observation.
When we are a kid, adults teach us a lot of things including how to behave, how to not disrespect elders, and the list goes on. But the one important thing they miss out on is consent. Asking for consent for anything means that you have respect for yourself and others but many people don’t understand this simple concept. In the latest episode of Hauterrfly’s The Male Feminist, actress Divyanka Tripathi opened up about the importance of consent and said that children should be taught about it as well. We couldn’t agree more with her!
