Ask Yourself Summary

Ask Yourself: The Consent Culture Workbook by Kitty Stryker

Practical exercises exploring the role of consent in confronting power structures in day-to-day life.

What does consent culture mean to you? Navigating the complex, never-ending work of culture change can be overwhelming at times. Whether you're exploring what consent means in your personal life or as part of your work in the world, Ask Yourself guides you through the introspection necessary for lasting change.

In Ask: Building Consent Culture, consent culture activist Kitty Stryker compiled a diverse collection of essays from people working on questions of how to build a culture of consent in our everyday world. This timely and practical companion workbook invites you to take a journey through your own thoughts on consent and consider how you can help build consent culture.

Ask Yourself guides you through a structured exploration with prompts for 28 days of journaling, conversations, and other work. The prompts are split into four sections on distinct themes that allow you to explore consent at your own pace and in your own way. This thoughtful book also features short contributions from consent culture activists to help inspire reflection.

This is a f*cking good book! - Nicole Byer, actor, and host of Netflix's Nailed It

An inquisitive guide that directs readers to turn inward to explore and interrogate their personal relationship to consent. I would recommend this workbook to anyone who's ready to dive deeper and build a stronger understanding of what it takes to build and maintain a true culture of consent. - Anne Hodder-Shipp, sex and relationships educator and author of Speaking from the Heart: 18 Languages for Modern Love

One comes away from this book with a much deeper understanding of the nuanced and evolving idea of consent, a clearer understanding of one's own place within this landscape and, perhaps most importantly, the tools to be of service to others. This is a vital text. - Alex Winter, actor, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure

This workbook invites us beyond discussions of rape culture and harm-avoidance-the thought-provoking prompts also explore the nature of how and why we say yes to each other on every level, exploring consent as a basis to develop a more equitable and self-acknowledging way to move through the world, and as a radical paradigm for our selves in relation to other people. - Leigh Alexander, narrative designer and writer of Reigns: Her Majesty

Whether you're already an advocate looking to further your understanding or new to the concept of consent culture and bettering the power dynamics in your everyday life, the perspectives and tools discussed within are not just worth reading, but worth returning to many times thereafter. - Matthew Mercer, voice actor and Game Master for Dungeons & Dragons web series Critical Role

Ask Yourself is a much-needed resource for individuals and groups to collectively think through the complex dynamics that shape how we conduct ourselves in all aspects of life. - Mark Bray, history professor and author of Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook

These conversations on consent are essential for building healthy dynamics in all of our relationships, not just sexual ones. Ask Yourself offers us a tool towards understanding our ongoing relationship with consent beyond just 'yes' and 'no.' - Andy Duran, education director, Good Vibrations and Babeland

This workbook is an essential resource for building a culture that is based on mutual respect, dignity, safety, and pleasure... It's an invaluable resource for making sure we build identities, communities, and a society that is committed to making sure we do. - Soraya Chemaly, author of Rage Becomes Her: The Power of Women's Anger

The collection will prove a useful addition to the toolkit for those who are working towards not just towards sexual equality, but equity in all areas of public life. - Sophia Kaufman, The Michigan Daily

At a time when every conversation seems to be about consent (or lack thereof, rather), it's a collection that actually adds to the discussion in crucial ways, and would prove enriching even to those who consider themselves pros at discussing sex, consent, and feminism. - Sarah Burke, Broadly
