Wouldn't the ideal future be not needing to ask if they know what concerns is (because they already know)? Although this is a great interim step.

Dang, that should be the standard going forward. If a bouncer isn’t asking dudes to define what consent is, skip that bar and go to the next.
yes means yes no means no. each person decides for themselves and not others. it seems pretty simple to me.
hi there! thanks for your comments, but unfortunately this community has a rule that only women are permitted to comment or post, so please don’t comment further.
hope you understand 💛
I think in addition, you're looking for an enthusiastic yes, and an absence of "no" is not implicit consent.
i mean you're explicitly talking sexual consent, i'm just talking consent.
Not necessarily. In what other context would you say my comment doesn't apply?
contracts. you don't need enthusiastic yes, you both just need to agree. sometimes reluctant yesses from all sides work out because you've negotiated a middle ground that has a compromise that is not quite what you all want, but works out positively enough for each side.
Why did I just know this was going to attract dudes? I avoided it for days because I knew what was coming and didn't need the stress.
