To address the problem of rape on campuses, California colleges and universities would have to adopt a standard of unambiguous consent among students engaging in sexual activity under a proposal passed by state lawmakers Thursday.

If signed by Gov. Jerry Brown, such policies would be required at all public colleges and other institutions that receive state funds for student aid. They would have to include a detailed protocol for assisting victims of sexual assault, stalking, domestic violence and date violence.

War on Men. How interesting a Leftie controlled state would resort to Neo-Victorian concepts of gender. Women are too fragile to have any agency over sex all the responsibility and risk fall on men. Antioch College was mocked for implementing a similar standard but it turned out they were a trailblazer.

What is a “standard of unambiguous consent?” A written pre-intercourse contract?

Or just a recording, a/k/a sex-tape to remove any ambiguity? ... “Dont! Stop!” or was that, “Dont stop!”

Mutual semi-drunk orgy is going to turn into regret the next morning...and the guy is gonna take the fall.

Does this also include gay sex.

War on men, indeed.

How about we just outlaw the behavior of slutty women? The
“rape” numbers would go down precipitously to the actual real crimes. When drunk girl is hurt the next day because drunk boy does not call her back, her cries of rape hurt the victims of actual sexual assault.

The law must apply equally everywhere. It can’t just be for colleges.
