Summary: NY Law changes college hookup dynamics
What if you had to ask if it was okay to put your hand on the other person's butt during foreplay? What if you had to ask again before touching her breast? What if there was a law that said you had to do this?In New York, there is now on all college campuses. A bill signed into law July 7 requires both parties to obtain consent for sex and each nibble and caress that sometimes paves the way. The law applies only on college campuses. At its heart is a simple concept: instead of "No Means No," it's "Yes Means Yes."
It switches the dynamic of consent in what could be an empowering way. The hope is that by changing the power structure of the hook-up and making it law, college sexual assaults will decrease. The legislation, proposed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo and called "Enough is Enough," was passed unanimously by the state Legislature.
Because that was such a problem before, with only a 61/10,000, or 0.6% chance of being raped on a college campus, where feminist liberal law runs rampart.
It's difficult to find fault with the law's goal of reducing sexual assault. But some, including feminists and legal scholars, say laws like New York's overstep, and risk turning into a criminal someone who honestly misread a sexual cue. And the laws ask college students to turn into a contract what is often a fumbling dance for otherwise sophisticated adults.
In other words, this makes it easier for a woman to change her mind at any point, and claim she was raped.
No matter what precautions you take, the hook-up now poses serious legal risks: "You look at the legal system we're building and it's incredible risky to hook up with someone you're not married to," said Peter Lake, director of the Center for Excellence in Higher Education Law and Policy at Stetson University in Florida. "It changes the rules of the game. It gives the game rules," Lake said.
Gee, I wonder why. Maybe it's because women have gone full-on batshit crazy?
And the New York and California laws don't address binge drinking on college campuses, except to say that a person cannot give consent if they are under the influence.
So what about that college guy who was raped while drunk a while back, who didn't receive any media attention?
It has been a year of national questions about how well colleges handle sexual assault on their campuses: a Columbia University student became a media sensation as she carried a mattress around with her to protest how her allegations of sexual assault had been handled.
Ah yes, that psychotic liar who was proven to have gotten drunk, pumped, and regretted it the next morning, and then claimed she was raped because of her childish inability to take responsibility for her actions.
Cecilia Colesanti is a student at SUNY Oswego, where "Yes Means Yes" became the rule last year. "I think the policy has good intentions, but to expect college students, especially freshman, to step back for a minute and have a conversation about intercourse before anything goes down is kind of silly," Colesanti said. And once alcohol comes into the equation, "the line of consent gets fuzzy," she said.
Consent is simple; you either say yes verbally, or you give it physically. A majority of communication is non-verbal, and signs such as flirting, winking, sexual body language all very explicitly imply consent, and should not be expressed unless you are ready to have sex.
TL;DR: Bitches be crazy. Document absolutely everything you do, whether it be via text, video, or recording everything that goes on between you and women in a sexual context.
