Guys our responsibility as adults is to educate young ones before us
We can’t deny that now at our adult life consent is way more clearer than it was during our teen years
Mihlali experiences are hers and we shouldn’t invalidate them
She’s 15 experience are here too

@Smoochie_Vi teenagers are dating and teenagers are having sex with each other .
Let’s teach our younger sisters and brothers without seeking self righteousness..
Mihlali and she’s 15 year old girl were merely sharing their experiences like many .

@Smoochie_Vi mihlali and she’s 15 at the time did not know what they know now maybe even the guys they dated also weren’t as calculating and manipulative like these guys who are acting woke today .

@Smoochie_Vi lack of understanding of consent honestly normalized an existing age gap that existed in that society
Eg if a well known matured couple in that community ( virtually or non virtual ) has a 5 yrs difference it makes easy for a teen to normalize his/her 5 year age gap

@Smoochie_Vi it’s very important while we guard against old sexual predator not to criminalize people who never felt violated still not feeling violated by their past experiences.
We shouldn’t get excited by declaring rape without context .
Mihlali and She’s 15 mustn’t be bashed

@Smoochie_Vi there are adults who are ready to criminalize “teenage sex “ even our legal system and human rights doesn’t warrant us to do that .
We should spend time educating teens about safe sex, consent , rape culture etc both boys and girls .

@Smoochie_Vi I personally think as a form of mass education and totally reforming of society which by the both young boys and girls inherit we need a Truth and reconciliation commission for teenagers sex and rape culture especially those with lack of information.

We will never have an open progressive conversation about teenage love/sex if the first thing we do when confronted with Mihlali and she’s 15 reality is to judge and criminalize their experience even though they don’t feel violated .
We must dialogue and seek to change not judge

@Smoochie_Vi how many men today knowing exactly what consent is ,are willing to reflect truthful about their past early sexual behaviors and use themselves as a case study for young boys ?Some of the men at the time did not even know they were raping @mpumi_phillips
