Quote:Is it saying that what we call normal consensual sex is neither normal nor consensual?Bullshit . Affirmative consent can and is doable . Sorry if you no interest in making the effort .
I don't get the part about no one suggesting the running through a checklist... because that is what affirmative consent would seem to apply. Because there are no clue rules on what precise actions would and wouldn't need affirmative consent... the only clear boundary would be "everything" which would involve a checklist, and contracts, and impossible robotic sex where perfectly normal and rational and decent people and innocent people could get falsely accused of rape because they slipped up when they didn't follow every single instruction down to the most microscopic details. I do not understand.
Fuck MRA. I'm a feminist and I hate the MRA. Men don't need their rights fought for. But this isn't about men. This is about the fact that this movement ISN'T. feminism. Affirmative consent could never actually work in practice. It would lead to no sex ever at best and regular false accusations of sexual assault at worst. Demonizing men has absolutely nothing to do with feminism.
(not the you not hating the MRA bit i accept that)
