Habs to educate players on consent

The Canadiens are planning to educate players on consent following the reaction to their drafting of Logan Mailloux, convicted of a sex offence in Sweden.

Do adult men really have to be told not to sexually assault women, or – as Mailloux did – record their sexual encounters so they can brag about them to the boys? Apparently in some cases they do. If this kind of thing saves anyone (of any gender) from assault, good for them. Let them get on with it.

I just hope it’s more like “you don’t assault people because you shouldn’t assault people” and not “you don’t assault people because it makes the organization look bad.”
