“Affirmative consent”. Is there such a thing as negative consent?

The campus definition of "rape" increasingly bears little relation to what previous generations defined as rape, and the campus standard of "proof" under which a man can be expelled on a rape allegation, would be laughed out of court in the real world.

For me, "rape" is the use of physical violence or threat of physical harm to obtain a woman's submission. However, in the campus world, there is no consent if it was obtained by "coercion" of any form. At Indiana Tech, for example, under the list of types of unacceptable coercion we have:

Emotional coercion is the most subtle type of pressure and includes actions like making someone feel obligated or guilty for not wanting to engage in sexual activity, using peer pressure, threatening to break up, etc.

So a guy who says to his girlfriend "if we're not going to have sex, I'm leaving" (and she agrees to have sex) can later be prosecuted for having used "emotional coercion".
