for Roxanne Jones, a former
executive at ESPN, who says such
motherly advice can potentially
help save her son from a false
r*pe accusation. In an op-ed
published on CNN, Jones
encourages other moms to follow
her lead, arguing, in part, that
s*x has evolved over the years to
such a degree that parents “still
fail to discuss s*x and evolving
s*xual mores frankly with our
sons and daughters, all this
freedom has led to confusion
about the ever-changing rules of
engagement when it comes to
s*x.”
To be sure, she makes it clear in
her piece that “no” means “no”
and that no woman asks to be
r*pe. However, Jones
highlights statistics from the
National Institute of Alcohol
Abuse and Alcoholism which
reveal that about 97,000
students between the ages of 18
and 24 are victims of alcohol-
related s*xual assault or date
r*pe. Such circumstances further
complicates the meaning of
consent, Jones argues.
So, in order to remove any doubt
about consent, Jones
recommends the following:
Never have s*x with a
girl unless she’s sent
you a text that proves
the s*xual relationship
is consensual
beforehand. And it’s a
good idea to even
follow up any s*xual
encounter with a
tasteful text message
saying how you both
enjoyed being with one
another — even if you
never plan on hooking
up again.
