CONSENT is perhaps the most important word of this generation... There has been a sea change in the Man_Woman relationship, owing to the technological revolution. There has been unprecedented interaction between the two genders. A silver lining of our generation.

So while there has been so much interaction, the boundaries are getting blurred and both the genders are in the process of assimilating and adapting to this wave. So while interaction one may say or do something that is not taken in a good way. It might lead to altercation.

So here the word Consent comes. If you like someone you say it to the other person. If your version of liking is not going to hurt, cheat or subjugate someone, then it's okay. But if they say NO, you must immediately back off without causing emotional or mental torture to other

The idea of Consent comes from giving equal right, respect and dignity to both sexes. You respect the 'choice' of others. Even if you have sex with someone for 100 times, if she/he says NO, 101st time, you stop. Coz you are respecting her/his choice to decide for herself.

We have been brought up in a deeply conservative and patriarchal society, where Girl is not an independent entity. So we have been conditioned to think as the 'first sex'.It will take a serious effort from our side to 'unlearn' the regressive thoughts.Consent is the beginning.

So your patriarchal upbringing will keep fighting with ur egalitarian thinking. U might do or say something that's unacceptable.The bottom line is we all understand Consent. It will be the first nd d most important step in certainly a right direction. A NO is a NO. Unquestionably

Consent is generally understood in the Context of Sex only. But It applies equally in all sphere of life .It simply means you respect everyone as an equal,human being and respect their choices and boundaries. It is explicit and unambiguous. Being aware about it is the first step.
