What movies get wrong about consent...
Just because you see it in movies or shows doesn’t make it normal or something you have to copy. The media we watch loves the “drunk hookup” storyline but real life isn’t scripted like that. What's missing? We usually don't see people asking “is this okay?”, checking in, laughing through awkward moments, changing their mind or asking to take a break. What you watch can shape what you think is standard, so it’s worth questioning. When it comes to dating and consent, you don’t have to follow the script. Make your own calls.
