CNN Op-Ed Says College Men Need Text-Message Proof They Didn't Rape

Article here. Excerpt:

'College men should have their sexual partners send them a text message before they get down to business to avoid a false rape charge, according to Roxanne Jones, a former vice president at ESPN.

Jones offered this bit of advice in an op-ed published by CNN Tuesday, in which she focuses on combating "stupid girls" and discloses that she gave her son 300 condoms when he went off to college.

Jones writes:

"Never have sex with a girl unless she's sent you a text that proves the sexual relationship is consensual beforehand. And it's a good idea to even follow up any sexual encounter with a tasteful text message saying how you both enjoyed being with one another -- even if you never plan on hooking up again.

Crazy, I know, but I've actually been encouraging my son and his friends to use sexting -- minus the lewd photos -- to protect themselves from being wrongly accused of rape. Because just as damning text messages and Facebook posts helped convict the high-schoolers in Steubenville of rape, technology can also be used to prove innocence."

It truly amazes me the opposition feminists are pushing to the idea of men getting affirmative consent. They hate this idea so much, they are actually attempting to define getting affirmative consent as the action of a rapist.

You're saying that there are feminists *against* the idea of women giving active, affirmative consent to having sex? As in:

M: "You want to have sex?"
F: "Yes!"

They're *against* this scenario? They think a man asking a woman if she wants to have sex is the act of a rapist?

If that's true, can you point me to sources?

Not that I don't believe it. I put NOTHING past feminists. I just want to see where it's actually readable.
