An especially curious legal artefact is the implied consent. When you enter a hospital as a patient you supposedly consent to whatever treatment doctors believe is vitally and immediately necessary, even if they would have to restrain you to complete the treatment. They will obviously not let you walk out half way through a surgical procedure. The same implication applies to security screenings at airports: once you begin the screening it is implied that you have consented to be Fully screened. From that point on you cannot back out, cannot change your mind. If you are hit by a car and remain unconscious you may be subjected to medical intervention without even implying consent.

Feminism is trying to outlaw normal human interaction and the relationship between the sexes. That will turn out well /s.

Its true and hilarious. People think that if you stay silent in government or voting, you're consenting to whatever happens. But if its two people sexing each other up, silence is non-consent.

"On the contrary, some supposedly progressive claims about consent gave rise to confusion about the general sense of ‘intention’ and about the limits culpability. If ‘A slurred Yeesh doesn’t mean Yes’ then perhaps my drunk-driving does not mean I am really driving… Another way, if a drunk woman is not responsible for her actions then a drunk man is also not responsible for his actions, assuming gender equality. "

And just last month there was an article of a girl accused of sexual assault:

"*Roe also contends that it was ridiculous to find her guilty of nonconsensual sex because of Doe's drunkenness, but not find Doe guilty too: Roe was also drunk at the time, so under the rules she was just as unable to consent to sex as he was. While this might seem like a paradox—how can two young people rape each other?—it would actually be a straightforward application of affirmative consent, which requires all participants in a sexual encounter to proactively obtain freely given** and unambiguous consent before proceeding.*** "

And going further back to the Bachelor in Paradise incident where the young woman bent over and shoved her genitals into the young mans face, and it was deemed she may have been too intoxicated to consent, even though he was also intoxicated. But right away everyone was quick to say it was sexual assult against her, even though "she blames producers for not pulling the plug and protecting her, although our sources say people who have seen the tape claim she was lucid and fully engaged."

Long story short, feminist want all the responsibility on men, while they have none, this is not gender equality.
