In class on September 8th, my interviewee and I discussed the issue of consent. Recently, the notion that "yes means yes" has been looked at as a solution to sexual assault and ambiguity of consent. I think the main point my interviewee wanted to make was that every situation is different, and "yes means yes" probably wouldn't work better than "no means no." We discussed how "no" is a more definite indicator of consent, and people just need to be more responsive to it. Because this was the first interview we did, I was nervous and not sure how to probe for more information. Our conversation ended rather abruptly because neither of us felt comfortable with the idea of interviewing yet. The recording was 170 seconds long.
