A morality based only on consent results in sexual oppression.
Last week, as the grotesque Harvey Weinstein sexual-assault scandal burst into public view, I was struck by this tweet, from my friend Andrew Walker:
So much cultural & personal hurt due to sexual sin.

Time and again the message to the culture is “join us anyway.” Or, worse, the message to members of the church has been “You don’t really have to obey.” The church retreats, and the sexual revolution advances.
