  Introduction to Consent Culture...

  Enjoy audio of the introduction to the book Consent Culture and Teen Films: Adolescent Sexuality in Teen Films read to you by the author. 
  Teen films of the 1980s were notorious for treating consent as irrelevant with scenes of boys spying in girls' locker rooms and tricking girls into sex. Contemporary movies, on the other hand, now routinely prioritize consent, ensuring date rape is no longer a joke and girls' desires are celebrated. Yet, sexual consent remains a problematic and often elusive ideal in teen films. 
  The introduction to the book Consent Culture and Teen Films: Adolescent Sexuality in US Movies demonstrates how teen films throughout the last several decades have shifted from trivializing nonconsent to emphasizing affirmative consent, or “yes means yes.” In doing so, they have adapted to “consent culture,” the cultural prioritization of obtaining clear verbal consent in all interactions—particularly sexual ones. 
  This chapter provides a historical context for how consent culture developed as a response to rape culture and traces how affirmative consent gained strength through legislation related to Title IX and sexual assault on college campuses between the 1990s and today. 
  Yet, at the same time, Meek reveals how teen films continue to expose how affirmative consent does not protect youth from unwanted and unpleasant sexual encounters. In the genre, we are confronted by innumerable problematic aspects of consent in practice—youth say yes when they clearly feel no; they insist on a consent and agency adults deem invalid due to their age; and they regret their sexual experiences. 
  While consent culture has provided some of the language during cinematic moments, it is strikingly evident that those words often fall short. Consent, it turns out, has not been the panacea we had hoped—that is, at least, not according to teen films.

  The Super Cadres - ANC Misrule...

  Pieter Du Toit

  After taking power, the ANC implemented its policy of cadre deployment. It sought command of all levers of power, from the Cabinet, through the civil service, down to municipal level.
  Despite the party recently lasing its majority, cadre deployment will ensure that the ANC maintains its iron grip on power and patronage, and it remains fused with the state.
  In The Super Cadres, bestselling author Pieter du Toit exposes how Nelson Mandela and Thabo Mbeki laid the foundation for complete ANC control of the state, how Jacob Zuma's ANC exploited it and why Cyril Ramsphosa is complicit in the destruction that followed.
  It is a searing critique of the ANC's desire for untrammelled power.

  The era of capitalist uncertainty is over—structured success is the future. 
  For generations, society has been trapped in the illusion that free markets create opportunity, individual ambition leads to wealth, and financial security can be achieved through hard work and risk-taking. But history has proven otherwise—capitalism breeds instability, economic collapse, and an ever-widening wealth gap. 
  This book exposes the myth of self-made success, the failures of uncontrolled markets, and the need for a structured economic system where prosperity is not a gamble but a guarantee. A.A. Castor presents a bold and direct manifesto for transitioning into a state-controlled model of wealth, where competition is eliminated, financial uncertainty is erased, and every citizen is assigned an economic role designed for national success. 
  What You'll Learn: 
  ✔ Why capitalism has failed and how its chaotic nature leads to long-term economic ruin. 
  ✔ How structured planning guarantees success by eliminating speculation and financial mismanagement. 
  ✔ The power of AI-driven economic control in creating efficient career placement and wealth distribution. 
  ✔ Why absolute obedience to structure ensures financial security for every citizen. 
  ✔ How controlled affirmations rewire the mind for discipline, loyalty, and permanent prosperity. 
  The time for free-market illusions is over. The future is planned, structured, and secured. This book is a directive—not a debate. Those who follow the new road to wealth will thrive. Those who resist will be left behind.
