The right thing to do, but I cringe at the thought of us making out and just when we start touching “yo just to be clear, this is a yes right?”.
What, just…verbally?! Man, unless it’s in a written form and notarized, it means nothing.
Just to make it clear, this is a genuine question, I’m not trolling and not trying to be sarcastic.
Could anybody please explain me how exactly this law is going to work? Won’t it mean that for example an angry ex will be able to sue for “rape” just because her consent wasn’t clearly communicated? Won’t this law unfairly target too many people, as consent even in marital sex can be a tricky thing to prove, let alone consent in one night stands?
Please seriously explain me like I’m five, I’m genuinely interested.
If no one says yes, but they still have sex, which one is raped lol
>The law states: “Consent can only be considered consent when it has been freely manifested through actions that, in accordance with the circumstances, clearly express the person’s wishes.”
All socially inept Redditors can go on with their jokes but this law is to remove the odd distinction between “sexual abuse and sexual aggression (rape) by making explicit that consent is the deciding factor. Passivity and silence can no longer be interpreted as consent.”
So basically being under influence of alcohol and drugs doesn’t clear rapists off their charges with this new law.
People who try to challenge this law through hypothetical scenarios are clearly either never had sex, or incapable of reading social signs. When people want to have sex, it is blatantly clear.
