Everything they own. It won\u2019t be my fault though... they were drunk. They should have known better. I\u2019ll get away with it 90% of the time but then when one brave man takes me to court over it, I\u2019ll argue that I wasn\u2019t sure if he meant it when he said \u2018no don\u2019t steal my Audi.\u2019 I just wasn't sure if he meant it. I said \u2018Can I please steal your Gucci watch?\u2019 He said \u2018no\u2019 but I just wasn't sure if he meant it. He was drunk. He brought this on himself. You should have seen how he was dressed at the club, expensive shirts and shoes. What kind of message is he sending with that!? I thought he wanted me to come and steal all of his shit. He was asking for it. When he said \u2018no\u2019 to me taking everything he owned I just didn\u2019t know if he meant it. \u2018No\u2019 isn\u2019t objective enough, it could mean anything." The text featured above went viral via a post on Facebook in 2016. Today, we're speaking with Alice Brine, the comedian who wrote and published that post. As we\u2019ll learn in this episode, Alice's analogy about sexual consent resonated all around the globe. Since then, you\u2019re on the money if you think that a lot has changed - but also not a lot when it comes to the issue of consent. In this episode, we speak to Alice about what the experience of going viral was like, what the surprising parts were, how it changed her life - and whether there the ideas of victim-blaming and sexual consent have positively progressed at all - or just taken a different form. Shownotes: Follow Alice Brine on Instagram or Twitter, and if you're in London send her a DM to be kept in the loop about her upcoming standup shows.  Email selfiereflective@gmail.com with any reflections on this episode.
