| 1 | How does 'affirmative consent' work?There's no way to prove after the fact whether or not affirmative consent was given. Sometimes. Other times, the defendant will admit it wasn't. Those are the sorts of cases that become easier to prosecute with this law. I know that only works if they're honest, but some people are surprisingly bad at lying to police. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/06/16 08:48 PM |
| 1 | How does 'affirmative consent' work?Mostly this: With a high burden of proof, district attorneys are all too often unable to gather enough evidence to prosecute offenders. Because perpetrators are most often repeat offenders, it’s important for campuses to have a way to hold aggressors accountable. It doesn't explicitly state that's what the new law does, but I think it's implied: With a fairer process, more students are coming forward to report crimes, and in time our campuses will be safer. Which is another way of saying, it cle… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/06/16 07:04 PM |
| 0 | How does 'affirmative consent' work?People may freeze in shocking situations that often require quick acting. And as mentioned in my first link, people may freeze in not-very-shocking situations that require no quick actions. Examples: the test subject spending seven minutes doing nothing, and the computer user manually destroying three disc drives in a row. Somehow I doubt your date is going to freeze in mortal shock when you start having sex. What if this date feels threatened? (Remember, they could feel that way whether or not … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/06/16 10:49 AM |
| 2 | How does 'affirmative consent' work?This was my understanding too, but then I looked it up. Apparently it's both, at least in the case of SB 967. (Is that the law you were talking about?) Your reasoning definitely makes sense: if miscommunication is a common cause of rape, then rape can be reduced by encouraging people to communicate better. I suppose the other side of the coin makes sense too. If the current definition of rape is prevents you from prosecuting rapists, then a clearer definition should reduce rape by putting rapist… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/06/16 09:14 AM |
| 0 | How does 'affirmative consent' work?And I suspect, so do the situations in this article. For instance: • A driver, upon realizing his car has begun to roll toward a group of people, slams on his accelerator, instead of brake, mowing down the people. He realizes something is dreadfully wrong with the car but is certain in his mind his foot is on the brake. He presses ever-harder. • A woman rises quietly from the table during a formal dinner, disappearing into the bathroom, where she silently dies. The autopsy discovers an easily-di… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/06/16 07:51 AM |
