France Just Updated Its Rape Law to Center Consent

Manaheaven · 2025-12-15T01:39:53+00:00

Marie-Charlotte Garin, who proposed the bill alongside Véronique Riotton, told the National Assembly last week: “And when it’s yes, it must be a real yes, a yes that is not afraid. Giving in will never again be consenting.”

A yes that is not afraid? So a woman can say yes, but because she felt fear it doesn't count as consent? This is borderline dystopian.

The burden is simply being shifted to the man. Because we all know that if a man accuses a woman of not asking for consent before a sexual act, or pressuring him for sex or making him feel afraid to say no in any way, he will not be taken seriously.

This law will be used as a weapon to attack men and shield women, while removing accountability from women and putting it on men.

Romantic relationships in France just became much more dangerous for men.

The idea behind this law is beyond idiotic. I have commented on it a few times. It infantilizes women as people that cant speak up and need to be asked to give consent or not. One could argue that such a dynamic leads to less resounding affirmatives which is right where we started from.

I have not seen any reports that it has achieved its stated goals anywhere in fact based on coverage and ngos it seems sexual assaults are getting more common.

motivates men to record the encounter, since that video might be the only proof anyone believes

Women aren't the victims

It would be far safer and less ambiguous if they just made the law, rape = "any sexual act where she decides now, later or in 20+ years that she didn't like it, including but not limited to. Reporting becuase of shame, getting caught cheating, or any petty vengance. All qualify, even if no sexual interaction took place, and he wasn't even in the general vicinity.".

Yeah, how about a law (in Europe as well as the US) that makes it illegal to convert post-activity "regret" into alleged retroactive lack of consent?

That would be super-duper great if they could go ahead and do that. (inferred eye-roll intended)

Fun times. It's not surprising to see more anti-Male legislation still being pushed.

Btw... if it passes, it'll never survive for long. It's wholly counterintuitive to how human nature works.

You have to get a bitch to sign a contract now with two lawyers and doctor to sign for her state of being before you can get your dick wet. And, her mother and friends group get 1 hour in advance to talk her out of it. Basically, the lesbians are protecting their potential turf.

Ignorance aside, how are there still non-MGTOW men in these places?

Mgtow and red pill or black pill men will explode in those places
