Rape is no joke. Meet the Yes Means Yes campaign.
“I don’t think I’d want it to happen right now, it does not feel right”. He shrugged. “It’s fine, you will like it” he promised her. But, please I don’t want to!” she pleaded again as she tried to wriggle her hands off his. “I don’t think you understand what you want right now. You…
