Violated: Chatting about Our Book with Remy Green, Part 1
Description
Picking up from an earlier episode where Julie read the first chapter of Violated, Julie (a sociologist) and Remy (a lawyer) discuss their book, Violated: Sexual Consent and Assault in the 21st Century (to be continued in the next episode). They talk about how they came to write the book, things that surprised them as they worked on it, and the key themes of the book. The three most important of those themes are: (1) how gender norms end up inevitably creating sexual mistrust and encouraging sexual violations (2) how the construction of sexual assault law doesn't take really take intentionality into account and (3) how we should be exploring the concept of "consent hygiene" and asking, in a world where so many initial sexual encounters take place while one or both people are intoxicated, what's "good enough" consent?Mentioned in this episode:
