Las calles alrededor de la sede del Departamento de la Policía Metropolitana estuvieron cerradas el miércoles para darle una despedida especial al Jefe Robert Contee y su familia en su último día como uniformado. Una ceremonia privada celebró su carrera de 33 años que comenzó cuando se convirtió en cadete a los 17 años. “La mayoría de nosotros no tuvimos la bendición de saber lo que queríamos hacer con nuestras vidas a los 17 años”, dijo la Alcaldesa Muriel Bowser. “El Jefe Contee sí”. Pero un antiguo profesor reveló que Contee tenía otras ideas de lo que quería hacer en el sexto grado. “En la esquina del salón, Robert Contee se paró, y con toda la confianza y certeza que un alumno del sexto grado puede tener, gritó duro y claramente, ‘Voy a ser el alcalde de Washington, DC”, dijo Robert Burrell. Contee ahora será un subdirector del FBI. Afirmó que una de las razones por la cual aceptó la posición era para tener más tiempo con su familia. “Te he visto a...

Opinion: Focusing on consent ignores better ways of preventing sexual violence

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 14:56:55 GMT

By: Nicole K. Jeffrey, University of WindsorIn early May, a New York jury found Donald Trump liable for sexually abusing the writer E. Jean Carroll in 1996. The jury did not find him liable for allegedly raping her.In the wake of this high-profile case, and the many others of the #MeToo movement, what should we be doing to prevent sexual violence and promote equitable sex? So far, consent is getting too much of the spotlight. Schools, universities and popular media are focusing heavily on consent in their efforts to curb high rates of sexual violence.Many advocates and educators have recently shifted their messaging from “no means no” to “yes means yes” and “consent is sexy.” This messaging promotes voluntary and affirmative agreement. That is, the idea that silence does not mean consent.Regardless, consent is much too low a standard for promoting ethical sex — even if it may be the best available legal standard. And focusing on consent limits our ability to create better approaches...
