HOW DO YOU (M)AS(C)K? Masculinity, Memes & Consent

Active Consent

Passive Consent

A man who eats raw liver telling me my jawline is weak

Me, searching through my YouTube recommended videos

The group chat

The passive bystander

“Have you tried going for a walk?”

Trauma

Trauma

SH24.ie delivering free testing kits to your house

Showing symptoms of an STI

Well girl

You comin’ home with me y’are?

Won’t be takin’ no for an answer

I’ll treat you well girl

*screams internally*

POV:

me trying to figure out how to reply to

a nude instead of saying ‘THANKS’

The images for the memes are stills from the Active* Consent play , How I Learned About Consent, taken by Aengus McMahon.

The Active* Consent programme supports young people and those that are important to them (teachers, parents, college staff and policy makers) in building their knowledge of consent as a key component of positive sexual health and well-being.


We create original Irish data-led consent education training resources including workshops, eLearning modules, drama, videos, and social media campaigns for colleges, secondary schools and sports organisations.
