[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's sounds so simple to say that it's as simple getting consent. The problem with any sort of consent is that it can be withdrawn at any time after initial consent, so the existence of consent can never be truly known to other person. Also, there is objective standard to determine consent.

Basically, it is impossible a young man to truly know if the woman consents. He can only surmise that her initial agreement was provided with sound mind and was not subsequently revoked. Politicians and activists are simply being dishonest and cynical by pretending that this standard either prevents rape or protects one from false accusations. Young men don't have a crystal ball that they can look into to divine what highly-educated legislators clearly struggle to define.

This is why men tend to be leery of throwing other men under the bus until it becomes clear that there is no way that the act was consensual. Even if they can't articulate it, they intuitively know that they are theoretically at risk of being accused of rape any time they have sex with a woman, so they take a wait and see approach until the facts become so preponderant that a rape must have occurred.

Sorry, that should be... There is NOT an objective standard.[/quote]

You are so right.  Thank you.[/quote]
