There used to be a time when a man could read social cues to determine weather or not the mood was right to make a move. Those days are loooooonnnng since past. A person might think that expressed verbal permission would be enough to satisfy the requirement of consent, but this has been argued to not be the case. Women have argued that they have been pressured into saying yes. From this the term enthusiastic consent has been deemed as the standard of consent. But the truth is not even this is enough. If the woman becomes uncomfortable at any point while having sex, consent can be withdrawn. She could literally be moaning “Oh god, yes!, YES!” And then withdraw consent mid thrust. Even if you manage to make it through the whole encounter without consent being withdrawn, if the lady wakes up the next day regretting what she did the night before, it’s because you didn’t really have consent, and it is withdrawn retroactively. Even if she wakes up glowing though, acording to Andrea Dworkin, you are still a rapist because according to her, “all sex is rape”.

The term consent has been stretched so far, that it is totally hollow. The trend of men recording consent before engaging in sex is just laughable. It’s just totally inconsequential. If you have sex, you are a rapist, and will forever be at that women’s mercy.
