Expert claims parents should ask babies for PERMISSION before changing their nappies

'Sexuality educator' Deanne Carson says she works with families to 'set up a culture of consent' in homes

TYPICALLY when a baby’s nappy needs changing, you go ahead and change it – no questions asked.

But one sexuality expert has left parents baffled after claiming they should ask their babies for permission before they change their dirty nappies.

Deanne Carson works with children to understand the issues of consent and describes herself as a “sexuality educator, speaker, and author” on Twitter.

Discussing her work in an interview with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, Deanne said she works “with children from three years old” and “parents from birth” to raise awareness of consent.

When questioned about their young age, Deanne said that she works with families to “set up a culture of consent in their homes".

She recommends parents say:“I’m going to change your nappy now, is that okay?”

While she acknowledged that a baby is unlikely to actually give consent, Deanne suggests parents "leave a space and wait for body language and wait to make eye contact then you’re letting that child know that their response matters”.

Bemused viewers were quick to take to Twitter, with one commenting: “I’m not hearing this right surely.”

Another added: “Absolute lunacy. The world has gone completely mad.”

I think we should all take advise on child rearing from a purple headed 'Sexuality educator'.

So if the baby says no and fights it is this an assault of some sorts?

The best of the UK gene pool emigrated before the first war. What was left of the best remaining was slaughtered off in that war and the following war.

What is left has become sissies and is waiting for the califate to take over.

Very sad to see, but socialism does that to a people!

Reading the article, I expected that the so called expert was not an actual parent, and never had to chase down a toddler to change a poopie diaper. But seeing the picture, my guess was confirmed. I doubt normal motherhood is in the cards for her.

Hitler had perverts and sickos rounded up and eventually removed from society…permanently and forever, with extreme prejudice.

I’m not suggesting we should do anything like that. But a return of state mental hospitals and committing these nut jobs there, would return society to just that …a SOCIETY.

Does this apply to baths as well? Because if I wait for consent on that one it’ll be maybe twice a year.

British Empire before and after WW1 similar to the Roman Empire —

“The area of the Roman empire in AD 400, though slightly greater than in 1 BC, disguises Rome’s true position.”

Looks like that individual is unhappy with the sex that was determined for it at the moment of conception. Someone with such an existential neurosis should not be giving advice to normal people.

And you would take child rearing advice from a person with fuchsia hair? Don’t have children.

I remember when out Daughter was around 3 months. If anyone other than her Mother, Me or her Grandma tried to change her diaper, she would grunt and point at one of us.

She definitely did not want anyone else including my Sister to change her. It was funny but we didn’t give her the option of saying no.

Today I’m damn thankful that on certain matters my parents didn’t “ask my permission”.

Deanne Carson has a mental illness, and in a healthy society that would be treated, not adulated.

I look at stupid stuff like this on a meta level: It’s just one more attack on our culture and Nation by the Elites who seek to subjugate us. This silly premise may not stick, but the next one (and there will be a next one) may.

Knowing it’s all part of the Elite agenda, I pay no attention to the cray cray dyke who obviously has experienced sexual and emotional abuse as a child.

IIRC, it was Mark Twain who defined an, “expert,” as some guy from out of town with a briefcase.

PS: I have a 6 month old and a 21 month old, and they are not voting members of the family.

Eat sleep, coo, poop. It’s a good life for them!

Why do photos of this person and Kathy Griffin remind me of used Cue Tips?
