NY Governor's new "special advisor" for such things as 'Yes means Yes' policies is leader in Women's Equality Party

Article here. Excerpt:

'Governor Andrew Cuomo today announced that Christine Quinn [link added], former City Council speaker and, more recently, face of the Women's Equality Party [link added], "is the newest member of the Cuomo administration."

Quinn will serve as "special advisor" to the administration.

She'll be part-time until her Harvard fellowship ends in April, and full-time thereafter. A Cuomo spokeswoman said she did not immediately know how much she will be paid.

Quinn will help Cuomo take "affirmative consent"—a "yes-means-yes" standard for sexual activity at college—statewide. Late last year, SUNY adopted "affirmative consent" at his suggestion.

"It has to be an affirmative consent by the woman," Cuomo said today, at a press conference held at New York University. "The female has to affirmatively consent to any sexual acts."'

But not "the male". I have a question for Ms. Quinn: Does she wait to get asked for her affirmative consent before doing anything sexual *and* does she ask her partner (assuming she currently has one) for same, given that she's gay so presumably her partner'd be female?

And does she do so each and every time like the college handbooks say?

If not, then she's yet another hypocrite on this topic. Worse still, a sexist hypocrite for saying "the female" has to consent. Clearly she is making reference only to heterosexual encounters, since those involving gay men don't include females and if she were including gay females, she'd add "or both females" and not stick with just "the female".

Anyone who doubts this is just a campaign to demonize men and give college feminists another instrument for chasing males off of campuses simply needs to look at the language being used and who is using it. Apparently it isn't sufficient to give females the power to make an accusation and that be sufficient to get a guy run off of a campus. Now it has to be clearly limited *only* to women h@ving this power. Well, as if we didn't already know.

I'll be so glad when people like Cuomo, Obama, et al, are finally booted from office. Obama of course is term-limited but Cuomo isn't. Still, if he keeps pursuing ludicrous policies like this and hiring feminist hacks like Quinn to do his dirty work, then he can't, I hope, remain governor of such a populous state as NY for long.
