How to Not (Accidentally) Raise a Rapist
5 February - 47 minsConsent education in school is mostly insufficient or non-existent — even when it’s required by state law. An organization called SafeBAE is trying to change that by training teens to teach each other about consent. SafeBAE’s executive director Shael Norris talks about what works and what doesn’t when discussing this topic with young people. We’ll also hear a cautionary tale about a time when Shael’s own daughter attempted to get justice for sexual assault survivors back when she was in high school.

LST FAVES: Boobs
When you get pregnant, your body changes (duh). One of the most common changes happens in your boobs (double duh). But sometimes your boobs change in ways that you don’t at all expect. Today we hear from two women whose boobs caught them off-guard, back when they became moms. First, there’s Emily, whose nipples seemed to, uh, multiply. Then there’s Tara, whose boob betrayed her at age 26, when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Except it’s her *other* boob that’s really the star of this story. ⭐️ This episode originally ran on January 11, 2017 and is a favorite from the archives. We hope you enjoy, and we’ll be back next week with a brand new boob-related episode! … Recommendations from the archive #109 More Boobs #203 When Mommy Boobs Go Viral … • Join LST+ for community and access to You Know What, another show in the Longest Shortest universe! • Follow us on Instagram • Sign up for our newsletter, where we recommend other parenting + reproductive health media • Buy books by LST guests (your purchase supports the show!) • Website: longestshortesttime.com Learn more about your ad choices.
