Sex Education: Episode 7 (2020)
Season 2, Episode 7
1/10
Deeply Troubling Storyline
28 January 2020
Though Most of the episode is good and informative. The writers got one part of the episode BADLY wrong. It emerges Ruby knowingly had sex with Otis. In the prior episode Otis is clearly shown as being incapable of giving consent for sex. He remembers nothing of losing his virginity,whereas Ruby remembers the entire encounter. Later it emerges Ruby intentionally has sex with Otis because she likes to sleep with nerds when she's feeling down. Otis then asks Ruby if SHE gave consent,and Ruby forces him to pay for the morning after pill.

Imagine for 1 second these roles were reversed and it was Ruby who didn't remember anything ans made to by the pill,and Otis said he liked to sleep with vulnerable girls.

For such an informative and sexually liberating program, I feel this was a MASSIVE oversight o the writers' behalves. It's quite troubling they didn't see this as any form of sexual assault.
