Yes Means Yes will bring to the table a dazzling variety of perspectives and experiences focused on the theory that educating all people to value female sexuality and pleasure leads to viewing women differently, and ending rape. Yes Means Yes aims to have radical and far-reaching effects: from teaching men to treat women as collaborators and not conquests, encouraging men and women that women can enjoy sex instead of being shamed for it, and ultimately, that our children can inherit a world where rape is rare and swiftly punished.

I get really sick with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue. I read Susun Weed herbology books, and even though she’s a crazy white lady I drink tons of nettle tea and take comfort in her assurance that the human body is designed to regenerate itself. I let myself sleep as long as I need to. I need to sleep a lot. I find a
our government, much like the entertainment industry, compels women to relinquish control of their own sexuality in exchange for the illusion of individual power. YOU MAY BE FUMING by the end of this essay, because I will not have made an effort to catalog all the obstacles female soldiers face in what remains a nasty line of work in an excessively masculine and misogynist milieu.
