“Can I even flirt anymore?”
“If I hit on someone are they going to think it’s sexual assault?”
“How do I even begin to navigate a workplace romantic interest without fear of losing my job?”
“Do I really have to ask for consent every time I want to kiss or touch someone? That seems like overkill.”
"I want to have casual sex. A lot of it. How do I get what I want and assure it's wanted on their part?"
"What do I do if someone regrets a sexual experience with me? How am I supposed to know that if they don't say anything in the act?"
THE GREY AREA. This discussion group tackles just that. Many people saw themselves in the Aziz Ansari narrative. He's not a bad guy. You may not be a bad guy as well, but how do we improve? How do we make a safer environment for women without compromising our own needs and desires? How do we navigate achieving those needs and desires? What do we need from women in order to make this new environment possible?

The though leaders will share personal stories and learnings as conversation points. They are there to question and offer perspective, not opinions. This is not a space to attack and correct behavior, but more a mancave to unpack aggression and sharing not-so-politically correct thoughts.
What this is a space for:
If you find yourself asking...
“I feel like I’m being associated with male aggressors just because I have a penis”“I’m confused as to what actually is a violation of consent”“I’m worried women are going to accuse me of assault if I say the wrong thing or touch them the wrong way”“I feel regretful of scenarios which I took advantage of females in the past”“I don’t know how to be an ally and advocate.”“Is what I’m currently doing, enough?”“I’m angry at the sheer amount of focus being placed on males responsibility”
What this is not a space for:
Specific individual blamingJudgement within the groupDiscussion specific to sexual assault, rape, crimes, or major news stories
