Based on the observations on the effects of rape hysteria in multiple societies around the world, a new law has been instated. Unlike Briffault's Law (Read it before you continue) which always was, is, and always will be, this is temporary and will hopefully be repealed in the near future after the inevitable decline and never be reinstated.

Warlock's Law

The female, not the male, determines all conditions of consent. Where the female can derive no positive emotions from the sexual act, no such consent has taken place.

Corollaries:

  • 1) All consent provided by the female is contingent on how she currently feels. Any past or present form of agreement whether it be verbal, written, or displayed with body language is merely coincidental.
  • 2) Past consent provided by the female before the act can be withdrawn during the act without communicating any intelligible sign to the male. The male's ignorance of this is no excuse and he is held responsible for not having recognized the female's thoughts at the time of withdrawal via telepathy.
  • 3) Any consent provided by the female before and during the act is null and void as soon as the female decides to withdraw consent after the fact for any reason or no reason at all. (See Corollary 1)
  • 4) The act need not have taken place. The female can withdraw consent from a fabricated event involving herself and any male(s) she chooses.
  • 5) The risk of withdrawn consent by the female can never be destroyed, with the odds inversely proportional to the female's perception of the male's SMV and directly proportional to the magnitude by which the female's perceived reputation may decline in the event her sexual indiscretions with the male were to reach the spotlight, the female's desire for commitment from the male before the act, the level of vendetta the female holds after failing to acquire commitment from the male after the act, and the amount of resources or attention that can be derived by the female at the male's expense via libel, slander, and/or litigation without consequence.

  • 6) Any skepticism regarding the alleged female victim's claims is victim blaming. Any male expectations of agency regarding the female's involvement in the alleged act is a confession of misogyny, to hate all females.
