Sure, it's all very simple... among rational, level-headed people.  Unfortunately, there are certain women who will claim after the fact that a sexual encounter wasn't consensual when it very much was, [b]whether in a drunk stupor[/b] or heat of the moment or what-have-you.  So it's very flippant and facile to say consensual sex is acceptable, until someone decides to throw out a false narrative, either out of regret, embarrassment, anger, etc.  Of course we should be teaching our boys to be respectful of women and when no means no.  But our girls absolutely need to know that false accusations are completely unacceptable and IMO, should be strictly sanctioned.  Did anything ever happen to "Jackie," of UVA fame?  Any apology from her?[/quote]

If you were in a drunken stupor, you cannot consent to sex, in which case the sex was not consensual.

Also, if we stop at teaching boys when no means no, we are not teaching our boys (or our girls) about consent. The absence of no does not constitute consent. Only consent constitutes consent.[/quote]
