This week, my DMs have been flooded with questions from parents. They're looking for advice on meaningful ways to teach their sons about consent and speaking up. My advice: Parents should start early. We need to raise our boys in ways that allow them to practice these skills. In the past week, I've gotten the same DMs from thousands of parents: "I'm reading about the Cornell sexual assault allegations, and oh my goodness, I don't want that to be my son. What can I do?" Well, let's start here: Assault prevention doesn't start with a c ollege orientation talk. It starts years earlier. It starts with learning to hear someone else's "no." Noticing when something isn't right.
