Hey Afrolit Fam, we decided to ask the controversial question that's probably been on everyone's mind at some point.  It's even MORE pressing to now have conversations with black men to get their take and we decided to take things up a notch and have the first AFROLIT DEBATE to argue the statement: All men above the age of 18 have assaulted and/or have witnessed or been told about an assault but remained silent within the situation.  We discussed: - Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network's (RAINN) definition of sexual assault - Power dynamics between men and women - Why men need more emotional intelligence - Believing women FIRST, before stories come - Can African's truly separate sex from culture and religion? - How we HAVE to have this conversation outside and it can't stop here!
