The new sex ed: Yes can also mean no
Article here. Excerpt:
'In the new sex ed, boys are presumed to be rapists until proven otherwise. Why else would boys be required, every few minutes, to repeatedly ask women if they are enjoying the sex – and if they fail to ask, be accused of rape?
Consent from the person you are kissing — or more — is not merely silence or a lack of protest, Shafia Zaloom, a health educator at the Urban School of San Francisco, told the students. They listened raptly, but several did not disguise how puzzled they felt.
`“What does that mean — you have to say ‘yes’ every 10 minutes?” asked Aidan Ryan, 16, who sat near the front of the room.
“Pretty much,” Ms. Zaloom answered. “It’s not a timing thing, but whoever initiates things to another level has to ask.”`
Look at how the bar keeps rising! At first, there was common sense that if a woman didn't object, there was no problem. Then a woman had to consent. Then a woman has to be specifically asked about sex and has to specifically consent. Now a woman has to consent at each level of sexual intimacy. At the rate things are going, men will be required to ask for consent each time they want to move six inches forward or backward.'
