Under the new law, rather than using the refrain “no means no,” the definition of consent under the bill requires “an affirmative, conscious and voluntary agreement to engage in sexual activity.”
** “Silence or lack of resistance does not constitute consent!” **
Can you believe this shit? I’m glad I’m happily married. I cannot imagine being a college student here.
This is what happens when liberals run amok.[/quote]
So, if someone is “intoxicated” they cannot consent.
So, I guess if two people are drunk at a party and have sex, they both committed rape under this new rule.
Good thing mutually-drunk hook ups never happen in college.
In seriousness, this is the dumbest law I’ve ever seen written, and I’ve seen a few.
Of course, what will happen is men will be selectively prosecuted under this new law by girls who just did a “walk of shame” and decide to regret it.
On the bright side, this will make a lot of work for lawyers, which I appreciate. Full employment guarantee and make our LA office that much more profitable.
