People often have misunderstandings about how people react to consent violations, especially when it comes to forms of gender-based violence such as domestic or sexual violence. Questions such as “Why didn’t you fight back?” or “Why didn’t you just leave?” fail to acknowledge how our bodies and minds naturally respond to threats.When faced with danger, our brain triggers one of four protective responses that have been designed to keep us safe. Fight : confronting the threatFlight : escaping the threat Freeze : staying still to avoid harmFawn : complying to minimize harmUnderstanding these natural and automatic responses is important in the context of consent. #sexualassaultawarenessmonth #endsexualviolence #consentculture #consent ...
