The way in which "consent on the dance floor" is depicted is almost insulting to the person who’s "frequently" being asked followup questions; it assumes that they’re incapable of extricating themselves from an awkward life situation without first being prompted by the person with whom they’re interacting.

Additionally, whoever designed the infographic seems to be assuming an extraordinary lack of emotional intelligence on the part of the person initiating the dance.

This is a perfect example of the continued infantilization of university students. After nearly two decades of learning the subtleties of human interaction, the majority of men and women should have developed the means, both mentally and emotionally, to interact with another person without having to walk through a grade school-level tutorial.
